where it has been gaining a dedicated fanbase for its unique spin on romantic comedy tropes. In particular, it subverts the typical "childhood friend" romantic development often found in manga and anime.

The anime is officially happening!!” This enthusiastic message reflects both the creator’s excitement and the growing momentum behind the series.
