Hey hey! All you romance comedy masters! 💖 New anime announcements always come so suddenly, but when you see a title that looks super sweet at first glance, no matter how far away or long the broadcast date is, it feels worth waiting for, right! 😏
This time, I want to share a new anime that I think has huge potential just from the title, and it's a must-watch – #我和班上第二可愛的女生成為朋友! The official account announced more detailed anime adaptation information today! The biggest highlight is: The TV anime will air in 2026 ! ✨✨✨
This work is adapted from a light novel! I heard the original novel is amazing and even won the Grand Prize in the Bunko category of the "Next Light Novel Award 2023"! 🥇 With an award backing it, the story quality is surely guaranteed! It also has a manga version, meaning the story itself has already accumulated quite a bit of popularity and fans!
The story is about two classmates with different personalities, and their romance comedy that starts from "becoming friends"! It feels like the kind of route where the relationship gradually changes, bittersweet yet still fun? Just thinking about it sounds great!
The official account also released the latest promotional visual and a trailer! Seeing the characters animated, the production looks really good! The visuals look comfortable, and the characters are all very cute! I'm super looking forward to seeing their interactions in the anime! 🥺

Wow wow wow! These voice actors are all highly skilled!

Regarding the production team, the anime is produced by the studio #CONNECT, which has worked on anime like Masamune-kun's Revenge, making them seem very suitable for this kind of school romance comedy! The director is Hiroki Tachibana-san, the series composition and script are by Keiichirou Oochi-san, and the character design is by Shouko Takimoto-san. It feels like a very solid production team!
The original author Takata-sensei also said that since the anime adaptation was announced last September, they have been really looking forward to seeing the work animated!
