Sexy Voice and Robo TV
Rich Amtower just got back from Japan and was kind enough to bring back this ad for the new Sexy Voice and Robo TV show. Apparently the ads are everywhere.
Eric Searleman writes to point out that Anime News Network has seen fit to revisit the book in light of the new show. Eric Carlo Santos calls Sexy Voice and Robo “The Best Manga I’ve Ever Read.”
Sweet.
If you missed Carlos’ original review for ANN back in December 2005, you can find it right here.
This is my favorite part:
The final touch to the terrific storytelling and artwork is a translated script that’s direct, colorful, and always aware of what the characters mean to say. It even squeezes in some wordplay without seeming forced—a challenging feat in any Japanese-to-English translation. You can almost hear how the characters talk, from Robo’s fanboyish wheeze to Nico’s arsenal of sexy voices.
Ahem.
Sexy Voice and TV
Searleman found this gem:
2006 Yomi Winner Sexy Voice and Robo (best short series/Koruda Iou) is going to be adapted as a live drama starting April 23.
…Neat.

Interview by Johanna Draper Carlson:
Kelly Sue DeConnick has achieved a following in an unexpected area: manga adaptation. Though she only began studying Japanese this year, she’s worked with professional translators over the past four years to craft English dialogue for such series as Sensual Phrase, Fruits Basket and Sexy Voice and Robo, among many other titles.

Kelly Sue DeConnick: Almost accidentally, as odd as that sounds…
