It has been announced that "A Star Brighter Than the Sun," a manga by Kazune Kawahara, known for works such as "Sensei!", "High School Debut," and "Aozora Yell," will be adapted into a TV anime in 2025. To commemorate the anime's adaptation, an illustration drawn by Kawahara has been released. Details of the anime will be announced in the future.
"A Star Brighter Than the Sun" is a manga that has been serialized in "Bessatsu Margaret" (Shueisha) since June 2021. It depicts the first love of Iwata Sae, a girl who is stronger than average. Sakue had a crush on Kamishiro Kouki, who used to be frail, but he grew taller and became popular, and he became a distant figure. Then, they meet at the last sports festival of their junior high school, and their first love begins to move... The comic has sold over 2.5 million copies in total.
Kawahara commented, "Everyone involved in the anime has made it with love and care, and has cherished the original work, so I hope everyone will check it out when it starts. There are lines and expressions that have been added to the original work that I'm familiar with, which are great, so please look forward to it. This is the first time that my drawings have been made into an anime, and I don't really understand my drawings myself, so I draw them while fooling around, so I thought it would be difficult to do, but they made it really cute!"
