Japanese fans are reacting to a fairly radical redesign for the lead in the anime adaptation of Yūki Shikawa's Bernard-jō Iwaku. (Miss Bernard said...) that sees the rough, abstract approach of the manga get a whole lot more conventionally cute.
The author received the 18th Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize's Short Work Prize for his three works including this. Dream Creation, who recently produced the TV anime adaptations of Yumi Nakata's My Wife is the Student Council President and Choborau Nyopomi's Magical Somera-chan, will handle this series.
The manga was first serialized in Ascii Media Works' web manga site Dengeki Comic Japan from 2012 to 2013, and is currently running in Ichijinsha's monthly magazine Comixc REX. So far two tankobon volumes are available from Ichijinsha. The series follows the exploits of Sawako Machida, who calls herself "Barnard-jou/Miss Bernard" as she routinely visits her school library to learn the classics through osmosis.
Though she is not motivated enough to actually read herself, she wants people to think she's well read. The series' conversations bring up many famous writers and their notable works, such as George Bernard Shaw, "Ender's Game" (Orson Scott Card), Greg Egan, "Hello Summer, Goodbye" (Michael Greatrex Coney), Philip K. Dick, "The Brothers Karamazov" (Fyodor Dostoyevsky), and Haruki Murakami.
