Anime Japan’s 2021 Manga We Want to See Animated event kicked off on February 18. This fourth annual poll features 103 serialized or webcomic manga, nominated by the public. Participants can vote on one title they want to see an anime adaptation of. Among the nominees are several Yuri titles: Uchi no Shishou wa Shippo ga Nai (My Master Has no Tail) - No. 14 A young tanuki with the power to transform into a girl is enchanted by a trickster rakugo storyteller. After being driven out of town, the tanuki becomes determined to become the storyteller’s apprentice. Oomuroke (Oomuro Family) - No. 16 A spin-off of hit Yuri series Yuru Yuri, Oomuroke follows student council member Sakurako and her sisters on their everyday misadventures. Special attention is paid to older sister Nadeshiko and her three friends, one of which she is dating! But which one? Audiences are left to discover the answer to this mystery as the comedy unfolds Whisper Me a Love Song - No. 42 Bubbly, energetic first-year high school student Himari falls head over heels for her senpai Yori after hearing her band perform on the first day of school. Himari tells Yori she just loves her, and, to Himari’s surprise, Yori says she loves Himari back! But when Himari realizes that she and her senpai are feeling two different kinds of love, she begins to ask herself what “love” really means… Tadokoro-san - No. 59 The hit webcomic turned serialized manga - Shy and introverted, Tadokoro passes her free time in class drawing instead of hanging out with her classmates. But even when her classmates approach her, it’s only to make fun of her drawings and appearance. In stark contrast, Nikaido is well-liked among her peers as she has both beauty and smarts. And while everyone makes fun of Tadokoro, Nikaido on the other hand, is totally infatuated with her. MURCIELAGO - No. 91 Violence has never looked so good - Mass murderers may not have much by way of career skills, but Kuroko Koumori seems to have landed her dream job as a hitwoman for the Tokyo police! A license to kill other killers? That’s some serious job satisfaction, right there! I’m in Love with the Villainess - No. 101 Rea Taylor awakens in the world of Revolution, her favorite otome game. However, she has no interest in this world’s eligible bachelors, she is madly in love with the game’s villainess, and is determined to save her from the coming revolution. The series addresses LGBTQ+ identity and issues, including representation, marriage rights, discrimination, and gender dysphoria. Yuri is my Job -No. 103 Hime gets roped into working at a weird café where the waitresses pretend to be students at an all-girl boarding school. She’s strangely taken with her partner Mitsuki, who’s so kind to her in front of the customers. There’s just one problem… Mitsuki really can’t stand her! Hime is a picture-perfect high school princess–she’s admired by all and never trips up! So when she accidentally injures a café manager named Mai, she’s willing to cover some shifts to keep her facade intact. To Hime’s surprise, the café is themed after a private school where the all-female staff always puts on their best act for their loyal customers.
