The official website for the television anime of Toshiya Wakabayashi's Tsuredure Children (Idle Children) manga began streaming the fifth short promotional video for the anime on Wednesday.
The video features Takeru Gōda (voiced by Tomoaki Maeno) and Ayaka Kamine (voice by Yui Ogura). Takeru is a volleyball player whose serious personality makes him come across insensitive in love. Ayaka is introverted. Because of their awkwardness, they have trouble engaging in conversation and their relationship is progressing slowly. In the video, Takeru internally says, "Why?"
