Idol Themed Light Novel Shine Post Gets Anime Next Summer

Are you ready for yet another idol anime to make you throw your hands in the air and wave them like you just don’t care?

Shine Post, a light novel series by Rakuda, provided us with an ultra-cute formula for a popular idol anime series, featuring not one, not two, but five girls who make up the idol group TiNgS.

Shine Post is receiving a new mixed-media project from Konami Digital Entertainment.

Before that, really quick. Let’s take a look at what Shine Post is all about, courtesy of the official website’s synopsis.

We want people all over the world to love idols! A beacon of light for all … that is us, we are Shine Post! Kyoka Tamaki, Haru Nabatame and Rio Seibu from idol group “TiNgS” have big dreams but only small achievements. According to them, the best manager in the world is the only one who can help them in this situation. “I will not be your manager,” they received as an answer. It is the first time that this person has lost his motivation, but does he have a hidden power? This is the story of you and the girls who shine in their quest to become absolute idols.

If you’re curious about what this project consists of, we can tell you that you’ll be seeing these adorable girls all over.

The project includes a smartphone game by Akihiro Ishihara,  a manga in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Alive magazine, and super fun live concerts.

But wait, there’s more! An anime adaptation of this idol-themed light novel series is set to premiere in the summer of 2022!

The animated music video for the TiNgS idol group’s song “Be Your Light!!” is sure to make you want to add this anime to your watch list.

A smartphone game isn’t made for every light novel series. But, when it does, you know it’s going to be epic.

Shine will include an idol-nurturing mobile – let’s get our idol face on!

We’re so excited to meet positive Haru Nabatame, calm Kyо̄ka Tamaki, sweet Rio Seibu, passionate Yukine Giongi, and talented Momiji Itо̄.

Summer 2022 cannot come sooner!
