posted on by Crystalyn Hodgkins
A stage event at AnimeJapan 2021 for the television anime of Hiroyuki's Girlfriend, Girlfriend (Kanojo mo Kanojo) manga revealed a teaser promotional video and new key visual for the anime on Sunday. The video reveals the main cast, more staff, and the show's July premiere.
The anime stars Junya Enoki as Naoya Mukai, Ayane Sakura as Saki Saki, Azumi Waki as Nagisa Minase, Ayana Taketatsu as Rika Hoshizaki, and Rie Takahashi as Shino Kiryū.
Kodansha Comics will release the manga digitally starting on April 6, and it describes the manga:
Naoya just got a girlfriend, the gorgeous Saki-chan, and though their intensities often pit them against each other like ice and fire, they're totally, uncontrollably in love with each other. He vows never to cheat...when out of the blue he receives another confession! Nagisa's cute, sweet, and she's made him lunch to boot! He knows he can't cheat, but he can't let a cutie like this get away...so he does the logical(?) thing: Asks Saki for permission to date them both! The confidence! The arrogance! The very gall! No matter the outcome, Naoya's future will be lively!
