A TV anime adaptation of Iori Miyazawa's sci-fi yuri novel series Urasekai Picnic (Otherside Picnic) was announced by Hayakawa Shobo on Thursday.

Synopsis
Her first encounter with Toriko Nishina was on the Otherside after seeing "that thing" and nearly dying. Ever since that day, exhausted university student Sorawo Kamikoshi's life changed. In this Otherworld, full of mystery, which exists alongside our own, dangerous beings like the Kunekune and Hasshaku-sama that are spoken of in real ghost stories appear. For research, for profit, and to find an important person, Toriko and Sorao set foot into the abnormal.
