I introduced two works this season to my wife, who says, "I don't like anime that much.
This time, it seems to have hit the mark well.
There are "Souna Freilin" and "The Pharmacist's Monologue."
-----
I was sure about "The Pharmacist's Monologue" after reading the comic book version.
"It will undoubtedly be animated, and the voice actress for the main character will be that person."
Therefore, I was not surprised at all.
However, I am a little surprised at the opening.
I had assumed the opening would be a mellow song in a minor key, like the first season of "Wolf and Spice."
Of course, this OP is good -- although, 'how did they come up with this concept?' I am scratching my head together with my second daughter.
-----
Me: "Do you think they can get to the story of 'MaoMao's (main character's) father (volume 7)' this season?"
Second daughter: "I don't think they can."
I just checked the progress, and it is about the middle of the second volume of the comic, so the first season will probably end around "Honey (Volume 3)".
Incidentally, Volume 7 "makes you cry," and then "makes you laugh.
(The volume numbers in the exhibit above are the Sunday GX Comics edition.)

I had read the original story of "Souna Freilin," and honestly, I thought, 'Is it that great a piece of work(*)?

But after watching the animation, I was amazed, saying, 'This is great.

By the way, I cannot deny the development of any content in various media.
In the first place, I have no right to do so.
Only the original author and their related parties have the right to reproduce the work (Article 21), the right of adaptation (Article 27), the original author's right to use derivative works (Article 28), and others (all of Articles 21 to 28).
My policy is like the stated, 'Well, not only "Islamic fundamentalists" but also "young people who are madly opposed to live-action anime" are "fundamentalists."
However, the live-action adaptation of "Souna Freilin" -- I think it may have already been discussed, but I think it would be tough.
However, there are some success stories in the live-action adaptation.
"Having to try first to find out."
