anime adaptation of Hazano Kazutake manga Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence ( Shiro Seijo to Kuro Bokushi ) . According to reports, Kazutake has revealed some artwork in celebration of the announcement.
Therefore, the animation is by the studio Doga Kobo ( Plastic Memories ) with direction by Sumie Noro and character design by Hiromi Nakagawa .
Synopsis:
Living on the outskirts of a small town, Lawrence serves as a local pastor for the townspeople. When in need, he's responsible for guiding people to church to visit the "Saint"—a symbol of good morals who attends to each parishioner's struggles and offers them sincere advice.
Cecilia, a kind young woman, is tasked with this role; however, this grueling work quickly exhausts her. This, combined with her hidden sleepiness, often leaves her resting in the church. This leaves Lawrence to tend to the church alone. While Cecilia sleeps in anticipation of her next visitor, Lawrence tends to her needs along with the church's numerous responsibilities.
Finally, the Saint Cecilia and Pastor Lawrence ( Shiro Seijo to Kuro Bokushi ) arrived in April 2017 in Shōnen Magazine R and Kodansha has just released its 10th volume.
