Manga’s Synopsis (pinched from MAL):
Sekirei are 108 beautiful girls of unknown origin, who together with their Ashikabi (human partners), must battle with one another in order to determine who will ascend and claim the “prize”. What is the larger purpose of this event? What are the plans of the event’s overseer, the same individual who found these Sekirei and introduced them into society?
Enter Sahashi Minato, 19 years old and approaching his 2nd year as a ronin. He is about to give it all up and return home, when quite literally, Musubi falls into/onto his life. An extremely well endowed, energetic, simple and sweet girl in a short miko outfit. Suddenly he finds himself as an Ashikabi, living with a girl for the first time in his life. And this is just the start of his new crazy life, which at most times is more then the poor Minato can handle.
This extremely ecchi, yet relatively innocent manga geared toward young men was brought to us by an established yaoi mangaka, Gokurakuin Sakurako, no less!
Cast (Via MOONPHASE):
Tachibana Shinnosuke: Sahashi Minato
Hayami Saori: Musubi
Inoue Marina: Tsukiumi
Hanazawa Kana: Kusano
Endo Aya: Matsu
Edit: Rest of the cast has been revealed too.
Ohara Sayaka: Sahama Miya
Konishi Katsuyuki: Seo Kaoru
Kaida Yuki: Homura/Kagari
Kobayashi Yu: Akitsu
Kaida Yuko: Hikari
Neya Michiko: Hibiki
Nabatame Hitomi: Uzume
Asumi Kana: Sahashi Yukari
Yahagi Sayuri: Mitsuha
Ishizuka Sayori: Shiina
As expected, Hayami Saori takes on the role of Musubi. Only Tachibana Shinnosuke is retained from the drama CD version, but I’m quite pleased with their replacements. Marina!! Endo Aya!!! And WTF, Hanazawa Kana again. She’s everything these days…not that I mind, of course. I ♥ her! Apart from Sekirei, Kana will also be in Shina Dark, Kannagi and the Mahou Tsukai yada yada sequel – are Osawa Office turning her into the next Noto Mamiko already?
For the record, the original seiyuu on the drama CD who got replaced are:
Kawasumi Ayako: Musubi
Tanaka Rie: Tsukiumi
Tamura Yukari: Kusano
Matsuoka Yuki: Matsu
That’s one heck of a cast to live up to! Some of the Nanoha team (animation studio, director, music etc) are behind Sekirei, and the anime will probably start airing sometime in July.
