Nano List Webtoon Gets an Anime Adaptation: Everything We Know

We all know living with roommates can be tough, but what if your roommate is a deadly android? That is exactly the premise we are diving into with the newly announced animated adaptation of Nano List.

The Android in Our Living Room

Imagine this: you are just a normal high school student. Suddenly, your late sister leaves you a "bodyguard android." We can barely trust ourselves with a coffee machine, let alone a robot with deadly strength!

The story of Nano List by Song-A Min takes us into a world where androids are completely normal. We follow Do-jin Ahn (or Milo, as the synopsis calls him) as he discovers the hard way why his sister gifted him this lethal protector. The original webtoon boasts an impressive 9.98 rating. We are definitely intrigued to see how this sci-fi action thriller translates to the screen.

Here is what we know about the setup:

• Androids are a normal part of daily life.
• Do-jin Ahn lives with two androids built by his sister.
• One of them, Nano, is a powerful assassin.

A New Path for Studio Gale

Here is where things get spicy. Studio Gale is taking on this project. Usually, they are the kings of family-friendly fun. We are talking about the studios behind Pororo the Little Penguin and Tayo the Little Bus.

Now, they are shifting gears from cute penguins to android assassins. It is a massive leap! We love seeing studios step out of their comfort zones.

Mark Your Calendars

The series is set to premiere on August 17 on the Korean streaming platform TVING. As of now, we do not have news about a North American streaming platform.
