posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
A flyer from this year's AnimeJapan 2017 event revealed on Thursday that the television anime of Meguru Ueno's Hajimete no Gal (First-Time Gal) manga will get 10 episodes and one OVA.
The anime will premiere in July. The series will have a stage event at AnimeJapan 2017 Saturday, and main cast member Nagaku will attend the event.
The anime's main cast includes Shintarō Asanuma as Junichi Hashiba, and Yuki Nagaku as Yukana Yame.
Hiroyuki Furukawa (My Wife is the Student Council President, Sin Strange Plus) is directing the anime and designing the characters at NAZ (Hamatora). Yūichirō Momose ("Sakura Internet Shinsei" net series) is handing series composition.
The romantic comedy begins with Junichi "Jun" Hashiba, an uncool high school student who frets about wanting to lose his virginity. Egged on by his friends, Jun gets on his knees and confesses his love to a classmate named Yukana Yame. The confession surprisingly works and the couple goes out. However, Jun finds himself in uncharted waters with Yame, a trendy and fashion-conscious "gal" (gyaru).
Ueno launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine in November 2015. Kadokawa published the second compiled book volume in October, and the third volume will ship on Saturday.
