4. I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl by Azusa Banjo

Comment:

“I’m thrilled! Truly, I am! I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to everyone, both domestically and internationally, who has supported me. I’m a bit nervous about whether there’s really a chance for an anime adaptation of ‘I Think I Turned My Childhood Friend Into a Girl’… But I truly hope to see Hiura, who moves and talks even cuter than in the manga, someday! I’ll do my best to make the characters that everyone cherishes happy in the future as well

5. Ugly Duckling of the Entertainment District by Naru Kariya

Comment:

I’m truly, truly, truly happy!!! Thank you so much to everyone who voted. I’ll work even harder towards making the anime adaptation a reality and delivering something even more enjoyable. If Esora and Sagami start moving, I might faint…

6. Kitanai Kimi ga Ichiban Kawaii by Manio Hanasaki

Comment:

To everyone who voted for ‘Kitakawa,’ thank you so much. Rather than just wanting it to be animated, I’m more intrigued by what would happen if it were animated… My curiosity is tingling with excitement…!

7. Kagurabachi by Takeru Hokazono

8. The Summer You Were There by Yuama

Comment:

Now that ‘Kimi to Tsuzuru Utakata’ has concluded, I also think it would be great if their summer were brought to life on screen. Thank you so much to all the readers who have been supporting this work and voted for it!

9. Kindergarten WARS by Yu Chiba

9th place in the Manga We Want To See Animated Ranking! Thank you for your votes!
I would love to see it made into an anime and have a lot of handsome voice actors appear and leave the stage!
