Publisher Hobby Japan announced on Friday a television anime adaptation of Okemaru's Yumemiru Danshi wa Genjitsushugisha (The Dreaming Man is a Realist) light novel. The official website revealed the main staff, cast, key visual (pictured), and a teaser promotional video. The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2023.

Cast
Wataru Sajou: Naoya Miyase (Futsal Boys!!!!!)
Aika Natsukawa: Akiho Suzumoto (Grancrest Senki)
Kei Ashida: Yumiri Hanamori (Yuru Campโ–ณ)
Kaede Sajou: Mikako Komatsu (Isekai Ojisan)
Rin Shinomiya: Kaori Ishihara (Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara)

Staff
Director: Kazuomi Koga (Kanojo, Okarishimasu)
Series Composition: Michiko Yokote (Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san)
Character Design: Miyabi Ozeki (Shuumatsu no Harem)
Sound Director: Hajime Takakuwa (5-toubun no Hanayome)
Music Production: Pony Canyon
Studio: Studio Gokumi, AXsiZ

Okemaru began penning the romantic comedy story on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in December 2018. Hobby Japan acquired the novel and began publishing under the HJ Bunko label in June 2020, featuring illustrations by Mizore Saba. The seventh volume shipped on August 1.

Popuri Yoshikita began serializing a manga adaptation on the Shounen Ace Plus magazine in March last year. Kadokawa released the second volume on March 25.

Synopsis
Wataru Sajou, who is deeply in love with his beautiful classmate Aika Natsukawa, approaches her without getting discouraged while having dreams about their mutual love. However, one day, he woke up thinking, "I am not really fit to be together with someone as good as her, huh..." Upon realizing this, Wataru started keeping an appropriate distance from her, much to Aika's surprise. "Could it be that he hates me now...?"

Did his intentions slip by her because she was getting impatient after arriving at the wrong conclusion?! This is the start of a romcom revolving around two people who just can't get their feelings across and both think their love is unrequited! (Source: Hobby Japan, translated)

Good, I'm always open to romance anime.
Remember what Master Oogway told us:

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift. That is why it is called the present.

Judging by the synopsis it will be both cute and infuriating at the same time.

There are other romcom novels which i wished to get an adaption rather than this. But it's okay. It's not that great but kinda fresh and new than other romance animes.

I keep track of Japanese novel sites. Romcoms have begun to replace isekai.

In HJ Bunko, there is one new romcom title every 3 months.
Too many to count in Dengeki Bunko. There are like 10 volumes of romcom every month.
In GA Bunko, Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten is the only big romcom I can think of.

EDIT: This romcom has been in my radar for a few months, still waiting for J Novel Club to license it~
JNC needs to stop working on those boring fantasy LNs and work on these interesting romcoms. LOL. >_>

It's a good thing I like both of them then, Isekai and Romcoms ๐Ÿ˜„
Still I would rather choose romantic dramas than romcoms but they're more rare, sure Japan loves their comedy stuff.
Thanks for the info by the way.

Thanks again !
