It has been revealed that the TV anime "Yano-kun no Futsu no Hibi," based on the romantic comedy manga by Yui Tamura, which has also been adapted into a live-action movie, will begin airing in October. The main cast has also been announced, with Kohei Amasaki playing the role of Yano Go and Yuka Nukui playing the role of Yoshida Kiyoko. A teaser visual featuring Yano Go and Yoshida Kiyoko has been released.
Amakasaki, who plays the extremely unlucky boy Yano Tsuyoshi, commented, "When I read the original work, it warmed my heart very much. I want to watch over Yano and the others' casual yet very precious 'ordinary days'! I want to gently support them! I think it's a heartwarming work that will make current students and former students alike laugh, cry, and feel their hearts flutter. I love the delicate illustrations, story, and atmosphere of the original work, so I was really happy to be selected at the audition. I will do my best to play the characters so that everyone will love them as they move around in the anime."
Nukui, who plays Yano's classmate Yoshida Kiyoko, a worrisome girl who is concerned about Yano's constant injuries, said, "As a reader, I've always loved this work...!! I'm really happy and honored!! Kiyoko is an honest, reliable, and kind girl. Her pure expressions change all the time when she thinks of the miraculously clumsy Yano, and they are irresistibly cute. I will also have to face her honest, precious girlish heart honestly. A thrilling, all-powerful pure romantic comedy! I can't wait to see it as an anime! I want all mankind to watch it! Thank you very much!"
The series is currently being serialized on Kodansha's web manga service "Comic DAYS." It depicts the pure love story between Yano-kun, a boy with extremely bad luck who comes to school covered in injuries every day, and Yoshida-san, the class representative who can't help but worry about Yano-kun. A live-action movie starring Yusei Yagi of the dance and vocal group "FANTASTICS from EXILE TRIBE" was released in November 2024, which also became a hot topic.
