Kanokon: Manatsu no Dai Shanikusai English Sub & Dub

About Kanokon: Manatsu no Dai Shanikusai

Here is what Kanokon: Manatsu no Dai Shanikusai (かのこん ～真夏の大謝肉祭～) is about, retold in plain terms: an ecchi, romance and slice of life anime by Xebec (2009). In short: With the arrival of summer and the school break, Chizuru, Kota, and the rest of their companions are lazily enjoying the warm weather. Chizuru flirts with Kota, Kota gets embarrassed, and Nozomu gets in the way.

More of the story: Tayura pines after Akane, Akane rebuffs Tayura, and a sexy good time ensues. The status quo isn't quite the same since the fox snared her prey, but the timeless boy-runs into-girl tale lingers on.

As an ecchi title, fan-service and comedy are mixed into the main storyline. Voice work is led by Miyu Takeuchi as Nozomu Ezomori and Ayako Kawasumi as Chizuru Minamoto. It will appeal most to mature viewers who are fine with suggestive content. With 2 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.

Production & Appeal

Xebec is the studio behind Kanokon: Manatsu no Dai Shanikusai, and its direction shapes everything from character design to motion. The ecchi focus matters here: fan-service and comedy are mixed into the main storyline. Its 6.0/10 score suggests opinions are split, so it suits viewers who already like the genre. Voice casting, including Miyu Takeuchi as Nozomu Ezomori, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2009, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
