Sentai Filmworks has licensed TONARI NO SEKI-KUN: THE MASTER OF KILLING TIME
Sentai Filmworks has announced its latest acquisition, Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time. The series was directed by Yuji Muto, with character design by Masae Otake. Shinji Kawai (STUDIO UNI) acted as Art Director.
During class, a schoolboy named Seki-kun is always creating things to entertain himself. All he cares for is creating things with an artist’s level of perfectionism and a craftsman’s attention to detail. Real dominos, shogi with original rules, a flip book with sounds…
Even Yokoi-san, who sits next to Seki-kun, always gets sucked into watching his games!
Based on the unique original work by Takuma Morishige – Japan’s one-and-only manga about not paying attention in class – this anime is about the silent battles the two have practically all the time. Please look forward to seeing the games Seki-kun breathes life into and seeing Yokoi-san’s reactions!
Tonari no Seki-kun: The Master of Killing Time will be available on select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
