FUNimation Nabs Mamotte! Lollipop 13-Episode Shojo Series
Date: 5/13/2008
FUNimation is revealing a new anime acquisition every day this week and the first one is Mamotte! Lollipop, which FUNimation will release as Save Me, Lollipop in a single 13-episode box set that will be available in December. The anime is based on the seven-volume shojo manga series by Michiyo Kikuta that was published in Japan by Kodansha in its Nakayoshi magazine. The 13-episode Mamotte! Lollipop anime adaptation, which was produced by the Sunshine Corporation and directed by Noriyoshi Nakamura (My Santa, Dragon Slayer), aired in Japan from July to September of 2006.



FUNimation has confirmed to ICv2 that it will be issuing the Save Me, Lollipop anime with an English dub track as well as the original Japanese soundtrack with English subtitles.



FUNimation acquired the rights to the Save Me, Lollipop anime series from Kodansha. Del Rey, which has a special relationship with Kodansha, is publishing Michiyo Kikuta?s Mamotte! Lollipop manga (Volume 5 was just released in March) here in the U.S. FUNimation has licensed the anime versions of a number of anime series based on Kodansha manga in recent years including Clamp?s Tsubasa and xxxHolic, Hell Girl, Mushishi, Basilisk, Suzuka, School Rumble, and Negima.
