The official Twitter account for the LINE LIVE service announced
on Monday that an anime adaptation of Chiho Minase and Kantetsu's Kangoku Jikken -Prison Labo- manga
has been green-lit for Production I.G's Anime Beans app this
winter.
The app is
running an audition for voice actors for the anime, and began accepting
applications on Monday. The audition will run until November 28.
The manga
centers on Eyama Aito, a depressed high school student who is a victim of
bullying every day. He receives a letter on the last day of school before
summer vacation, inviting him to a "confinement game" where he can
name any person, who will then be confined for a month. Aside from murder,
Eyama is allowed to do anything to the person, with the promise of a money
reward at the end. For his target, Eyama picks Aya Kirishima, the ringleader of
the pack that bullies him.
Futabasha published the manga's first compiled book volume in
February 2016. The manga's seventh volume shipped on June 28, and the eighth
volume will ship on December 12.
Production I.G launched the Tate Anime app in June 2017 and it ended service
on May 31. The app offered short (about three-minute) anime that update on
weekdays, and each series had 10 episodes. The anime was presented vertically
for smartphones. Production I.G rebranded the app as Anime Beans in
June, and it no longer features exclusively vertical anime.
