Let's Make a Mug Too! Episode 1 News and Everything You Need to Know
In this series, the main story focuses on a high school girl named Himeno Toyokawa who has just moved to Tajima city and discovers the pottery club by accident. The series will contain both an anime portion and a live-action portion, though it's unknown at the moment what the live-action portion is going to consist of.
The manga that this series is adapting has been running since 2012 and has been collected in 33 digital volumes.
While tourism anime can work when the advertising for the city isn't done overtly, sometimes a series of this nature can go overboard and turn off the audience as it were. With any real luck, this series will manage to walk the line without toeing itself across the boundaries of what anime fans are willing to put up with.
