Indian Language Dubs for My Clueless First Friend, More Anime Stream on Crunchyroll

Crunchyroll began streaming the Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu dubs for the television anime of Taku Kawamura's My Clueless First Friend (Jijou wo Shiranai Tenkousei ga Guigui Kuru.) manga on Friday. It began streaming the Tamil and Telugu dubs for the second season of the anime based on Ren Eguchi and illustrator Masa's Campfire Cooking in Another World with My Absurd Skill (Tondemo Skill de Isekai Hōrō Meshi) light novel series on Wednesday.

My Clueless First Friend premiered in April 2023 in Japan on the Tokyo MX channel. Crunchyroll added the English dub in India later that same month.

Shigenori Kageyama (DYNAMIC CHORD, Himawari!, Himawari Too!!) directed the anime at St.Signpost, and Chikashi Kadekaru (Mieruko-chan, Juni Taisen: Zodiac War) designed the characters. Takafumi Hoshikawa (2001 Shaman King storyboard, unit director) and Shōgo Yasukawa (Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma, Ayakashi Triangle) were in charge of the series scripts, and Toshio Masuda (Kamisama Kiss, Naruto) composed the music. Reina Kondo performed the opening theme song "Alcor to Polaris," and Kitri performed the anime's ending theme song "Kokorone."

Square Enix Manga & Books licensed the manga, and it describes the story:

One lonely, gloomy fifth-grade girl is the target of her classmates' relentless bullying and teasing—that is, until a new kid arrives on the scene. Friendly Takada is as clueless as he is well-meaning, but somehow he possesses the magic ability to start drawing "Grim Reaper" Nishimura out of her shell. As the elementary schoolers experience all the fun of a childhood summer together—from going to the pool to picking sunflowers to watching fireworks—an unusual friendship blossoms!

Kawamura launched the ongoing manga in Square Enix's Gangan Joker magazine in May 2018.
