Publishing company Shogakukan announced a television anime adaptation of Kenjirou Hata's Tonikaku Kawaii (Fly Me to The Moon) manga on Wednesday. The anime series is scheduled for an October 2020 premiere. Hata drew an illustration to commemorate the announcement (pictured).

Synopsis
Having grown up ridiculed for his bizarre name, Nasa Yuzaki strives to be remembered for something more. Fortunately, it seems he's on the right path, ranking first in the nation's mock exams and set to enter his high school of choice.

However, everything changes in a single night when he notices a girl across the street on his way home. Enraptured by her overwhelming cuteness, it's love at first sight for Nasa. But in his infatuated daze, he fails to notice the approaching danger speeding down the road and finds himself at death's door. Barely alive thanks to the girl's intervention, Nasa musters the courage to confess his love to her, fearing she might otherwise vanish from his life. She accepts his proposal on one condition: marriage, to which Nasa gladly accepts before passing out from his injuries. Upon waking, however, the girl is nowhere to be found.

After recovering from his injuries, Nasa tosses his previous ambitions aside and dedicates his life to finding the girl that captured his heart, yet several years pass to no avail. But one night, when an unexpected visitor comes knocking on his door, Nasa finds himself facing a woman that would forever change his world: his wife. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Hata began drawing the romantic comedy manga in Shounen Sunday in February 2018, approximately ten months after ending Hayate no Gotoku! (Hayate The Combat Butler) in the same magazine. Shogakukan published the ninth volume on January 17, with the tenth volume planned for a March 18 release. Tonikaku Kawaii has a cumulative 1.2 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

VIZ Media licensed the manga in English last month and lists the first volume for a September 2020 release.

Tonikaku Kawaii ranked among the top 20 manga in the 5th Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taisho, a joint award by Kadokawa's Da Vinci literature magazine and streaming platform Niconico.

The rationale behind the proposal laid out in the synopsis sounds completely ridiculous, but besides that this sounds like it could be pretty good. I'll certainly give it a look, at least.

Give the manga a try, and I promise, once you read a few chapters, you'll never want to stop.

Knew this would get an anime someday. Read 43 chapters of it so far, and it's pretty good. Apparently, it's considered to be better than Hayate no Gotoku. Wonder what studio is doing it.

OMG! OMG! This is such a good news! Tsukasa <3

One of the most cute manga I have read. Nasa and Tsukasa is the best couple ever. Tsukasa is everything that makes her such an adorable and interesting heroine.

Well, she is modelled after Hinagiku after all!

It's not like Hayate ended badly though. It's just that it could have better ending.

I was in love with [Hinagiku] but I never thought it was a bad ending. In fact I accepted it as is. I think the deserving girl won in the end.

Maybe there will be stories coming out with [Miku](5tb) or [Mafuyu](bokuben) as the main heroines down the line with just wholesome romance?

I'm personally fine with it though. It just that Hata like to throw a curveball that we are at lost when he just went straight in the end.

One of the most pleasing fanbases around. No complaints whatsoever because Tsukasa and Nasa are genuinely way to adorable as characters and practically impossible to find fault in them.

It's one of the most wholesome romance stories ever. I never thought we would ever get an anime of a married couple like them. Now, if only we had Giji Harem animated.

I don't want another situation like with Hayate's first, third and forth seasons where the studios don't adapt the material correctly
But at least Manglobe went bankrupt so no risk of them picking it up so don't need to be scared of that

I feel like this will be popular due to how wholesome it is, but I also think people might get annoyed that the married couple remain shy of one another for so long.

woooooooo finalllllly. It feels like ages since we've gotten a good romance story with pure wholesomeness.



I just hope it doesn't turn out to be as bad of an adaptation as Senryuu Shoujo was though

Don´t get the fuzz towards this manga. I like romcoms, but this one bored me in less than a volume. And now it´s getting an adaptation *yikes* Maybe some good production values will make it easier to enjoy.

Oh, I can guarantee that you'll love it. They share tons of lovey dovey moments. But get super embarrassed when they are in front of family and friends. Tons of hand holding, snuggling up to each other, pecks on the cheek. This is so wholesome!

Of course there is this [little sister (of Tsukasa)] who doesn't want her [beloved elder sister] taken but she is quite reasonable as well.

And you should really read Giji Harem. RinRin is one of the cutest waifus ever. She is so caring and loving yet super shy. So, underrated/under-read.



@Short_Circut: I am okay with 5 mins shorts as well. It has 80+ chapters. So, it's actually enough for a 12 episodes half length anime (like Senryuu Shoujo) no?

@_MushiRock11_: Always ready to help you find good stuff!

yea maybe so lol. It might end up being like Osake wa Fuufu ni Natte kara which I don't think I'd actually mind tbh. It already had a voice comic with Saori Hayami (Rin) and Nobuhiko Okamoto (senpai) so the VA's are already set :P

For one reason, this is different from the usual rom-com where all the characters are in highschool and all they do is blush around each other.
From my experience, rom-coms tend to be mostly made up of generic comedy moments with very little actual romance, not to mention the love triangles and harems.

Here we have something very different, a fun, but mostly fluff series about a married couple
