It’s safe to say there are some very zany and wacky anime out there. The next Netflix Original anime set to release this month is perhaps the most bizarre anime to be released thus far! Here’s our guide to season one of Back Street Girls.

Back Street Girls is a Netflix Original anime based on the mange of the same name by Jasmine Gyuh. The Series is produced by J.C. Staff who have worked on previous titles such as Golden Time, Food Wars and UQ Holder.


What is the plot?

After failing their boss too many times, three Yakuza men are faced with two choices: die an honorable death and kill themselves or go to Thailand for gender reassignment surgery and train to become “Idol Girls.” They choose the latter.

After surgery and a tough year of training to become Idols, they debut with great success to the dismay of the Yakuza trio. Now having to deal with overwhelming popualrity that comes with being an idol, this is just the beginning for them.

Will Back Street Girls have a second season?

At this moment in time it is too early to say! With the anime potentially covering all the current source material it depends if the creator would be willing to write any further story for the show. Either that the production studio takes on the script for any subsequent season.
