The Young Animal magazine of Hakusensha, via its official X (formerly Twitter) account, revealed on Monday that a television anime adaptation of Hiroshi Fukuda's manga series Rock wa Lady no Tashinamideshite (Rock is a Lady's Modesty) is scheduled for release in 2025.
In October 2022, Fukuda published the comic in Young Animal. The first collected book volume of the manga was released by Hakusensha in April 2023, and the fifth volume will be out on July 29.
The first Mushibugyō manga was serialized by Fukuda from 2009 to 2010, and Shogakukan collected and released three book volumes. Launched in 2011, Fukuda's new manga Jōjū Senjin!! Mushibugyō reworks the main plot and finished in September 2017. The manga's 32nd and last collected book volume was released by Shogakukan in October 2017.
Senjin, Jōjū! A television anime series of 26 episodes broadcast in 2013 and was inspired by Mushibugyō. The show was broadcast live on Crunchyroll as it aired. Along with three original video anime episodes, the manga served as inspiration for the 15th, 16th, and 17th volumes of the manga.
Plot of the story:
Yuki Minami is a talented young woman living a double life. By day, she is a respectable piano teacher at a prestigious music school. With her elegant clothes and impeccable behavior, Yuki epitomizes sophistication and professionalism. However, her nighttime life is entirely different. At night, Yuki transforms into a passionate rock singer, performing with her band in the city's underground clubs. With tousled hair, bold makeup, and overwhelming energy, her rebellious personality shines on stage. The plot follows Yuki as she tries to balance these two contrasting identities. Between keeping the secret of her double life, managing the dynamics of her band, and facing the challenges of her personal relationships, Yuki must find a way to live both of her passions without compromising either.
