posted on by Joanna Cayanan
The official website for the television anime of Ghost Mikawa's My Friend's Little Sister Has It In for Me! (Tomodachi no Imōto ga Ore ni Dake Uzai) light novel series revealed the anime's key visual, main promotional video, and October 4 debut on Monday. The video reveals and previews the opening theme song "Uza Kawaikute Nani ga Warui!" (What's Wrong With Being Annoyingly Cute!) by Karubi Akami, and the ending theme song "Hoshi no Kodō" (Beat of the Star) by Kohana Lam.
J-Novel Club is releasing the novels in English, and it describes the story:
If a girl teases you, that means she likes you!
Unfortunately, Akiteru knows from experience that isn't the case. Because every girl he interacts with shows him nothing but scorn, and he's not scored a single date from it! Luckily, he's more concerned with securing a spot for him and his game-development buddies at his uncle's business. But when his uncle throws him a condition that involves playing the part of his daughter's boyfriend, Akiteru has no choice but to take it.
What will his best friend's sister Iroha, who bullies him relentlessly, think of the news?
The cast members from the drama CD adaptation are returning to reprise their roles:
- Haruki Ishiya as Akiteru Ooboshi
- Sayumi Suzushiro as Iroha Kohinata
- Tomori Kusunoki as Mashiro Tsukinomori
- Sōma Saitō as Ozuma Kohinata
- Kana Hanazawa as Sumire Kageishi
Kazuomi Koga (Rent-A-Girlfriend, The Dreaming Boy Is a Realist, The Banished Former Hero Lives as He Pleases) is directing the anime at BLADE. Tōko Machida (Lucky Star, Wake Up, Girls!) is overseeing and writing the series scripts, and Katsuyuki Sato (My Stepmom's Daughter Is My Ex, Fire in His Fingertips -My Childhood Friend is a Fireman-) is designing the characters.
The first volume of the novels with illustrations by tomari debuted in April 2019, and SB Creative published the 11th volume on March 15. Hira Hiraoka is drawing a manga adaptation on Square Enix's Manga UP! website, and Square Enix will publish the 10th compiled book volume on October 7.
