INTRODUCTION:
This is a school life Rom Com that evolves around Suzuki, an energetic girl who can’t help but follow the crowd, and Tani, a quiet boy who can easily speak his mind. The original manga by Kocha Agasawa was serialized on Jump+ until 2024, and it received many awards. The English version of the manga is available online on MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA and published in print and digital by Viz Media. Lapintrack is the anime studio that will adapt this series into anime.
Crunchyroll describes the anime as follows:
Suzuki’s a high school girl in love, but the guy she’s fallen for is nothing like her! While she’s cheerful, outgoing, and always trying to fit in, her classmate Yusuke Tani is stoic, quiet, and doesn’t seem to care what people think of him. Will Suzuki be able to overcome her anxieties and ask him out, or will she discover that opposites really don’t attract?
