Senpai Wa Otokonoko release date, plot, and more
The anime adaptation of Senpai wa Otokonoko is scheduled to hit the screen in July of this year. This news was announced at the Fuji TV Anime Lineup Press Conference 2024, which took place on March 11, 2024. Furthermore, the anime will be available on Crunchyroll for streaming.
The voice cast of this series has been confirmed. This includes Shuichiro Umeda as Makoto Hanaoka, Akira Sekine as Saki Aoi, and Yūma Uchida as Ryūji Taiga. As for the staff, Shinsuke Yanagi is supervising the series at Project No. 9. Shoto Shinkai will be undertaking the character designs. Yoriko Tomita writes the scripts while Yukari Hashimoto composes the music tracks.
The author of the series is known by the pen name Pom. This manga was released back in 2019 on the LINE Manga app. Notably, the series topped Anime Japan’s Manga We Want to See Animated poll in 2022. Reportedly, Pom tried to come up with male character designs but struggled a lot, which served as an inspiration to explore the topic.
As for the synopsis, Line Webtoon describes the series as follows: “Can true love overcome any obstacles? Saki, a high school student, confesses her feelings to Makoto. Taken aback, Makoto reveals his secret, but the sudden discovery doesn’t seem to bother Saki who is already head over heels for him.”
It further continues, “After being rejected, Saki asks Ryuji, Makoto’s childhood friend, for some advice on how to win his heart. A love triangle unfolds when Ryuji realizes that he might also have some feelings for his old friend.”
