posted on by Karen Ressler
North American anime distributor Sentai Filmworks announced on Thursday that it has licensed the television anime DRAMAtical Murder and plans to release the series digitally and on home video.
The anime adapts Nitro+CHiRAL's boys-love adventure game. The game's story centers on a young man named Aoba who lives with his grandmother on the island Midorijima. He works at a junk shop in the island's Former Residents District after Toue builds the Platinum Jail resort on part of Midorijima and forces residents to move. Aoba is content with his simple life but gets pulled into mysterious events unfolding on the island.
Crunchyroll streamed the television series as it aired in Japan last summer. The series itself ran for 12 episodes. The anime's Blu-ray and DVD box sets in Japan also included an original 13th episode.
