To celebrate news more than five years in the making, the original author shared a commemorative illustration—our first glimpse of this unusual couple in anime format. The linework is clean and expressive, exactly what fans hoped for.

What We Know So Far
Kodansha’s statement keeps things suspenseful. Details omitted include:
- Animation studio — completely unnamed
- Technical team — no director or scriptwriter revealed
- Release window — remains unannounced
- Voice cast — locked away under absolute secrecy
It’s a strategic move: give just enough to whet appetites, then let speculation do the heavy lifting.
A Slow Build That Paid Off
This isn’t a flash-in-the-pan adaptation riding hype before ink dries. The series has been serializing in Bessatsu Friend since , steadily building a devoted fanbase through its mix of comedy and genuinely sweet moments.
Currently, the story collects 10 volumes in the Japanese market, with volume 11 scheduled for . That commercial heartbeat proves the property isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving. Timing the anime announcement to coincide with that momentum is hardly accidental.
The Premise: Steel Frames and Glass Jaws
At its core, this is a story about the gap between who people appear to be and who they actually are—where the best comedy lives.
Momose is a high schooler with one modest ambition: a quiet life free from bullies, delinquents, and general teenage mayhem. Then along comes Ichikura.
On the surface, he’s everything she wants in a classmate. Black hair. Impeccable glasses. A composed demeanor that screams model student. Except he used to be one of the most feared delinquents around—a proper yankee.
He insists those days are behind him. His fists disagree. Old instincts flare up whenever the situation calls for it, and suddenly Momose finds herself caught between keeping his secret and navigating the unmistakable chemistry bubbling between them.
The series never takes itself too seriously. It knows exactly what it is—a light, warm-hearted romp with just enough punch to keep things interesting. Sometimes that’s all you need.
