The award-winning 4-panel romantic comedy will now be an anime.
Kotoura-san, a high-school romantic fantasy 4-panel web manga by artist Enokids from the web site Manga Goccha (Manga God a Chance) won the web-site's highest honor of "Manga of the Year" in 2009. Even though it's a free web comic, the latest printed compilation, Vol. 3, has reportedly sold more than 100,000 copies (phenomenal for a web comic). Now it has been greenlit for a TV anime!

Will the new experiences bring her out of her shell?
