Momokuri Romantic-Comedy Anime's Promos Preview Animation

A teaser website for the anime adaptation of Kurose's Momokuri manga opened last week, and unveiled two versions of a promotional video:

Text: This girl, Yuki Kurihara, is very cute, kind, good at studying, gives all her effort...
Text: And...
Text: Loves Momo.
Text: Loves him way too much.
Yuki: Momo, I'll throw that away.
Momo: Huh? But I'd feel bad...
Yuki: It's fine. Hehehe.
Yuki: Momo's already-used straw!
Text: She's a little bit weird.

Text: The expression Momo shows to me and the expression he shows to his friends are a bit different.
Text: But I want to know everything about the guy I love, you know?
Text: His expressions... His actions... Everything!!
Text: Momo is just so cute to me, I can't help myself!

Yoshimasa Hiraike (Amagami SS, Kaleido Star New Wings, AKB0048) is directing the anime at animation studio Satelight (Macross Frontier, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) with producer Fumio Kaneko (AKB0048, Log Horizon) also on the project. Lantis will produce the music. The anime will premiere this year.

The story of the manga revolves around Yuki Kurihara, a girl who has finally been granted her wish of dating her crush Momo. At first glance, she just looks like a normal but very cute girl. However, she is in fact a maniac over Momo, taking notes of his activities and never missing the chance to see him in a cute moment. Momo, on the other hand, is inexperienced in love, and just wants to make Yuki happy.

Kurose began the manga on the Comico free manga app in January 2014.
