Series synopsis
Senryu Girl, also known as 川柳少女 is a Japanese animation comedy television series that premiered on MBS on April 6, 2019. It ended on June 22, 2019. It stars Tasuku Hatanaka, Misaki Kuno, Sumire Uesaka and Kana Hanazawa.
At first glance Yukishiro Nanako seems like a normal high school girl, but she has a notable eccentricity: instead of speaking, she communicates only through written senryu poetry! This means she expresses herself only in 5-7-5 syllables. To most this might seem like an inconvenience, but for Nanako and her ex-delinquent bestie, Busujima Eiji, it adds to the experience of their high school lives as they run the Literature Club.
