I don't think this is romance tho, maybe more on friendship. As far as I know, she's just friends with the 2 guys (LIP X LIP), and the guy she likes is actually a member of Lip X Lip's rival idol group. But seems like that rival idol group isn't included in this series???

Male casts are worked together in Iwatobi Swim Club and Haikyuu,
Female casts are worked together in Gochiusa and Lyrical Nanoha

Ayaneru, Kouki and Inorin are in MHA,
Nobunaga, Hayamin and Inorin are in SAO

All casts are know more about Mamo & Tsugu since both are worked together in many anime and female casts are ever become both harem in different anime

I remember seeing a video of this on YouTube not too long ago. It was a music video, I think? I couldn't forget that the main heroine was voiced by Inorin. But to think that this HoneyWorks song was really getting its own TV anime, then I'm stoked! After all, Inorin is voicing the main heroine so that's one good reason for me to be excited about this.

Wait, the main character was voiced by Inori-san? Now I really hyped it up, lol.

Well, considering that many of their songs are collaborations with famous VAs, they wrote many themes for popular anime and this is their fourth or fifth show ...

Tbh this is my least favorite series of Honeyworks songs. I was waiting for Arisa-Shibaken story instead, but I guess they're included in the Suki ni Naru Sono Shunkan wo movie..

Well, I'm always looking forward to more Honeyworks stuff, so will look forward to this one as well.

I look at the teaser and think it looks like Horimiya, read the first part of the synopsis and think it's romance, then I read the last part and it's idol. So in summary this is Romance X Idol with Horimiya art.

LMAO the MC and Miyamura have the same VA.

I'll add it I guess.

Another Honeyworks MV getting anime and the cast is absolutely stacked, nice.

HoneyWorks isn't one of the VLOID groups I've been keeping any sort of tabs on, but it's good to see that once I eventually decide to give them a listen there'll be more content to follow suit. I'll check back in with this entry if and when I'm ready and the like.

Is there an issue with that? I happen to be a huge Honeyworks fan and I really like Hiyori's storyline in the music videos so it's exciting that she's getting an entire anime.

I just don't understand the use of the "win" idiom for things that don't involve competition or serious opposition.

Ok I guess, I don't really understand what the issue with it is but whatever.
