NHK announced on Friday that it is producing five more episodes for the Heart Cocktail Colorful anime that will debut this summer.

The new episodes will be five minutes each. The new stories will all take place in summer, and will again tell stories of "modern diverse love." The anime will again star Kazuya Kamenashi, Tamiyoshi Okuda, and Hikari Mitsushima.

The anime aired its first five episodes on NHK General in March and those episodes took place in spring.

Heart Cocktail Colorful is based on Seizou Watase's Heart Cocktail manga, which Watase wrote in the 1980s and has 11 volumes. The full color manga told love stories set in urban environments. The new anime continues to tell love stories, but takes place in the present day.

The manga previously inspired a television anime adaptation from 1986 to 1988. Okuda also voiced a role in that anime.
