AnimeVision

One of these days I'll cease to be surprised at the subjects that get the anime treatment - but not today. Naisho no Tsubomi is a manga aimed at primary-school girls (P4/P5 level), and features lead character Tsubomi having to deal with issues such as her mother's pregnancy, her first period, and budding feelings for boys. It's billed as a "sex education" manga - and now it's getting the anime treatment, through a 3-volume OVA that will begin release in April. Perhaps it's just because I'm an old git at heart, but aiming such things so young generates an involuntary squick with me - although the devil would be in the detail of how sensitively it's all done.

A trailer and wallpaper image for the show are now available.
