Kodansha has announced a new cross-media project called Hundred Note, which will encompass YouTube anime, manga, events, and more. The voice actors will be announced starting on May 2.

Hundred Note is set in an unspecified year in the 21st century, where Tokyo City has become a city of crime and a detective organization called Nest is established to solve the problem. The project’s characters (designed by misa) are divided into teams of three called Houses, with each consisting of a detective and two Recorders. 

The five Houses featured with the project’s announcement are:

Melvyn originally wanted to write about video games, and he did so for a few years, starting from his college days. He still writes about video games sometimes, but now focuses on anime-related news content and the occasional review. Some of his free time is spent self-learning Japanese, both out of interest in the language and because English-translated light novels and manga are expensive. Every anime season, Melvyn looks forward to discovering new standout episodes and OP/ED animation sequences, as well as learning about the storyboard artists and directors behind them.
