Today’s random scans posting action is about a manga I fell in love with recently, which also is actually being animated : Sora no Manimani.

I decided to check this manga when I saw the news about it being animated about 3 months ago in Newtype. Well, I will start by saying this :

If you’re not already reading/watching this, you fail.

I won’t talk about the story ’cause well… it actually doesn’t get much of a story. This is a ‘slice-of-life’ manga about an astronomy club, an iyashi-kei manga filled with Love & Piece, comedy, and a very bit of drama. If you’re into this, you just can’t miss it.

And more importantly… You never saw such a high concentration of cute girls in a manga in you life, EVAR. From the main characters, to the unnamed background sub-characters, this manga gets nothing but lovely female characters.

Ok, I guess it’s enough for an introduction. Now let’s spread many <3s as usual~

Mihoshi, the adorable genki baka who’s crazy about stars~
Saku, the main guy, is some kind of mix of Kyon and Yuuki (genderswapped Nagato) : a ‘tsukkomi’ bookworm who joins the astronomy club (not totally) against his will.

Sayo, Mihoshi’s best friend.
SO BEAUTIFUL <3 <3 <3

And then comes my fav character so far, Hime-chan.
MY ANGEL <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Buchou : “Actually, they’re not going out together…”
Hime : “EH ?”
Hime : “Buchou-san, I’m joining the astronomy club !”
XD <3
oh man that face of her on the right page… <3 <3 <3

It gets also some hawt seitokaichou, Kotozuka-sempai, aka Fuumin~
<3 <3 <3

Epic intro page for epic chapter. Hime XD

Right page : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Mihoshi : “If you dress like that, you won’t complain if you get attacked… by mosquitos !!!”
lol~

Sayocchi <3 <3 <3
Well, sadly enough that’s pretty unlikely that she will join the love equation tho… yeah, I was hoping it would become harem manga…

The girl in the very first panel is Yoko, some lovely huge random classmate who appears occasionally. So damn cute <3
Also, she’s in love with the main guy~

Saku escapes from club’s activities, and the bookworm meets the bookworm~
I feel something nice is happening~
… not mentionning that the seitoukaichou is actually astronomy club’s natural enemy XD

Hime~ <3 <3 <3 <3
Her onee-san should tell her that when wearing pajamas, pants are unnecessary. Pajama-shita nante kazari desu, erai hito ni wa sore ga wakaranai no desu.

End of volume 1~
Right page, bottom right panel : DEH LOVE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I’m glad I picked up that manga~

Back cover : a hint about how will evolve the love equation ?
Anyway, many <3s

Volume 2, and SoraMani continues to get cute background characters, such as Hime’s friends Emiri (<3 <3 <3 <3 <3< 3) and Mayu (<3 <3 <3).

Mihoshi, so adorable~
naisu sukkinshippu~

Hime~ XD
lulz and many <3s

SAYOCHIN IS HAWT
Left pages : moar cute background chars : Izumi-san (short hair) and Yoshinari-san (long hair) from the literature club.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Hime : SO CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Emiri <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

One thing got confirmed in this second volume : Fuumin is my second fav <3

Volume 3, and new cute girls just never stop to appear XD
Saku’s best (?) friend’s imouto, Miku-chan.
SO DAMN CUTE <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

The crew starts sharing activities with other schools’ astronomy club, which means even more cute girls appearing~
Such as Ayumi, aka Oumi-tan.
Man those tsurime of her are hawt <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

There are also these 2 ‘stars otaku’ (?) from an all-girl school.
Instantly grew love for the one with long dark hair. <3

But still… Hime-chan is just the BEST.
Most epic Hime-chan moment EVAR XD
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Omake pages are Oumi-tan flashback.
aww she was all boyish before~

Volume 4, that I’ve just finished to read.
As always, was overflowing with intense Love & Piece~
Obligatory “Main guy bumps into the meganekko and accidentally breaks her glasses” chapter XD

She can’t see anything without her glasses~
Right page, bottom right panel : <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Even though Hime is my fav, I can’t help but feel for a short moment that Fuumin should be the one for Saku when she comes up with such a smile.

Square glasses~
Cute ! <3
Right page, upper right panel : Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3 <3

Mihoshi is constantly in need for skinship, that’s why I luv her so much~
Mihoshi x Hime <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Ok, starting here it’s all about my beloved star otaku XD
Boku no mai enje~ru~

Right page : she eventually gets a proper introduction !
Her name is Akina~
Awesome otaku girl B is Minami (she’s called by her last name for some reason).
Left page : as you can expect from SoraMani, Minami is actually quite a beauty too~

nyari~ <3

And well yeah, they’re stars otaku XD
omg Akina luvs deh GARness XD

Funny face~

She also appears on the back cover !
Yay colors~

6 books have been released so far. See ya soon with volume 5~

===

As I said at the beginning of this post, the anime is actually being aired. I don’t find the character design to be as cute as in the manga, but that’s still a very cute and enjoyable show. I like the opening very much~

Hime-chan anime version <3

Sayo is still totally hawt and beautiful in the anime <3 <3 <3

Anime gets also Youko-tan~

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Left pic : The literature club = Otome no rakuen ! <3
Right pic : Yoshinari-san, right in the middle. She actually gets some nice boobage XD <3 <3 <3 <3
Some another very cute girl also appeared on the right, a bit separated from the others for some reason.

Love & Piece~

MY ANGEL !

The way this scene was animated reminded me of THIS. XD

ザ・lovely sub-characters.
Yoshinari-san <3 <3 <3
Emiri looks particularly cute with these red cheeks <3
… but I thought she was actually blonde. :o (her hair aren’t colored in the manga). I wish Edogama-imouto Miku-chan got a proper introduction like in the manga…

Fuumin is totally HAWT.
Kudos to her seiyuu Ami Koshimizu (Tenma in School Rumble), great work.

That was the 100th post of this blog~
