The official twitter account for the upcoming anime adaptation of Takuma Morishige's Tonari no Seki-kun comedy manga reported on Friday that the series will premiere in January. In addition, the tweet revealed that a big announcement regarding the series will appear in the October issue of Media Factory's Comic Flapper magazine, which will ship on September 5.

The original manga revolves around a girl named Yokoi who sits next to a boy only known as “Seki-kun.” During class, Seki-kun continues to not pay attention and instead creates amazingly throrough little distractions, such as a detailed golf course with the course's hole being a dent in his desk, or an entire dramatic war being played out by paper shogi pieces.
