Bad Girl manga is getting an anime adaptation 

The Bad Girls anime is in production, with the official website revealing the first visual of the adaptation featuring the main cast. The manga, written by Nikumaru, has only three published volumes since 2021, with the fourth set to release on July 25, 2024. The project's details include Bridge as the studio, Takeshi Furuta as the director, Yūki Morimoto as the character designer, and Arisa Okehazama as the music composer.

The Bad Girls anime will adapt the manga, a four-panel series per page, into a comedy centered around high school life with four female characters. Yu Yutani, a well-behaved girl, becomes interested in the school's disciplinary committee chairman, Atori Mizutori, and decides to behave as a "bad girl" to get her attention. The first season of the anime is uncertain due to the manga's structure, and there is no certainty on the number of episodes.

Following is the official synopsis of the series,

"Yuu Yuutani, a first-year high school student with sharp eyes, large piercings, and flashy two-tone hair, is not a well-known bad girl who everyone makes way for. She is actually a very good girl at heart, and her mind is always full of thoughts of the school's Madonna, Atori Mizutori. Wanting to attract the attention of the disciplinary committee chairman Atori, Yuu decides to quit being an honor student and become a "bad delinquent!" A school comedy depicting the struggles of a slightly foolish self-proclaimed delinquent is about to begin! (Official Site, translated)"
