The latest print and digital catalog from Right Stuf is out and inside of it there’s a bit of licensing news that’s welcome to see. According to an advertisement of page twenty-five of the PDF, NIS America has acquired the rights to the 2012 anime series My Little Monster. The release is being done as a DVD/BD combo release in premium format. It’ll be priced at $59.98 and is listed as subtitled only with a planned spring 2015 release date.

The series is based off of the manga Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, which is released in North America by Kodansha Comics and ran for thirteen volumes before finishing in the fall of 2013 by Robico. The anime adaptation aired in the fall of 2012 and was animated by Brains Base with Hiro Kaburaki as the series director working off of scripts by Noboru Takagi and character designs by Tomohiro Kishi, who also served as the chief animation director.

Plot concept: Mizutani Shizuku is the type of person who only cares for her own grades. But when she accidentally delivers lesson notes to Yoshida Haru, he becomes convinced they are friends. Haru turns out to have a very innocent personality, but who would’ve thought that Haru would actually confess to Shizuku? A cold-hearted girl and super-troublemaker romance with a fresh new perspective.
