Well, yuuma aka mayayan brother and 10chan as main character, isn't interesting, right?

I hope this’ll air along with 5-toubun no Hanayome Season 2!
Sounds like a Kaguya-sama: Love is War after all but I’ll keep my hopes and expectations in check lol.

Studio Zero-G is really hit or miss Studio for me. I heavily enjoyed the Doukyonin wa Hiza TokiDoki show but didn’t find Grand Blue too pleasing so mixed feelings here. Cast and Staff members are solid though!

Sounds like a potentionally fun story, but in all honestly I am putting on the PTW list mainly since I am always a sucker for glasses girls, bonus if they are leggy and busty.

I've seen doukyonin and I DO reaaaallllly have HIGH expectations for this showww... Imma be studious college student after this //

Guessing Amamiya is gonna do the Touka/Iris style voice for Ayame. Interesting about Yuuma for Shinya, seemed more like a Sugita voiced character, but it could just be because Yuuma always ends up voicing (blond) delinquents :P

Interested to how Zero-G is gonna do with this since they only really have Grand Blue as notable shows
