REMOW reported at its Anime NYC panel on Saturday that the television anime of Kuzushiro‘s The Moon on a Rainy Night (Amayo no Tsuki) manga is “coming 2027.”
Kodansha USA licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
One rainy night, Saki is rushing to a piano lesson when she crashes into a beautiful, long-haired girl, dropping her sheet music in the process. Saki stutters an apology, but the girl simply hands back her sheet music and leaves without a word. Saki begins her first day of high school the following morning, only to find the stranger from the night before sitting at the desk next to hers. She learns that the girl’s name is Kanon and that she is not quite completely deaf, but very hard of hearing. Though Kanon needs to be close to people to read their lips, she tends to push people away with her icy demeanor. Through one kind gesture, Saki slowly begins breaking down the walls around Kanon, even as she feels something new blossoming within her.
Tomoe Makino (Aharen-san wa Hakarenai, A Tale of the Secret Saint, Woodpecker Detective’s Office) is directing the anime at CompTown. Shōgo Yasukawa (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Mitsuboshi Colors, Rock is a Lady’s Modesty is writing and overseeing the series scripts, and Ayumi Nishibata (Otherside Picnic, Migi & Dali) is designing the characters.
Kuzushiro (A Mangaka’s Weirdly Wonderful Workplace, Inugami-san to Nekoyama-san) debuted the manga on Kodansha‘s Comic Days website in June 2021. Kodansha published the manga’s 12th volume in Japan on June 19. Kodansha USA released the eighth volume digitally on December 23.
