It has been announced that the TV anime "My Awkward Senpai" based on the manga by Makoto Kudo, which is currently being serialized in "Young Gangan" (Square Enix), will begin airing in October. Additional cast members have also been announced, including Shogo Sakata as Kamekawa Yuu, Ami Maejima as Hotta Mio, and Mitsuki Saiga as Kankaiji Ritsu. It has also been announced that the music group "angela" will be in charge of the opening theme "Bukiyou na I love you".
The series is a romantic comedy that depicts the daily lives of the clumsy and often misunderstood older boss, Tetsuwan Azusa, and the earnest new employee, Kamekawa Yuu, and voice actress Lynn will play Tetsuwan Azusa.
Sakata, who plays Kamekawa Yuu, said, "I have read ' My Awkward Senpai' for a long time, and I was very particular about trying out for the audition because I wanted to play the role of Kamekawa. I was really happy when I heard that I had passed. I feel that the anime interprets the wonderful world of the original more deeply, creating a realistic space-time. I have a feeling it will be very interesting. And, of course, Tetsuwane Senpai is charming. I hope everyone will watch it. I myself can't wait to watch the anime. I would appreciate your support."
Maejima, who plays Hotta Mio, commented, "I'm happy to be involved in a production that allows me to experience the nuances of delicate and precious emotions, and the warmth of caring for others. Hotta-chan is like the sun, able to properly put her thoughts into words and connect everyone around her with her positive energy. Please look forward to some great assistance from Hotta-chan, who is a great communicator!"
Saiga, who plays Kankaiji Ritsu, said, "Kankaiji is a cool and wonderful person who adores Tetsuwana. I am very happy to be able to walk through this story with such a cool Kankaiji. ' My Awkward Senpai' is a wonderful work that is very fun and sometimes heart-warming, so you won't regret watching it! Oh! Lynn's Tetsuwana is so cute!"
The main visual and main PV, featuring Tetsuwan and his colleagues, have been released.
