The staff for the television anime of Seiju Amano‘s I’m Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class (Class no Dai Kirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta.) story announced on Saturday that Kaori Maeda is joining the anime’s cast. Maeda plays Maho, a girl who is a younger student in the same school as the main cast.
The staff also released the first character promotional video and visual (for Akane Sakuramori), with another new video and visual for a different character set to premiere every week.
The story centers on third-year high school student Saito Hōjō, who, due to strange circumstances, marries his classmate and his “natural enemy” Akane Sakuramori. The heart-pounding romantic comedy follows the married life of two people who hated each other from the start.
The anime stars:
Hiroyuki Oshima (episode director for Kill la Kill, Teasing Master Takagi-san) is directing the anime at Studio Gokumi and AXsiZ. Tatsuya Takahashi (The IDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls, Domestic Girlfriend, Idoly Pride) is overseeing the series scripts, Nanako Tatsu (Date A Live IV, Date A Live V assistant character design) is designing the characters, and Arisa Okehazama (Jujutsu Kaisen, The Apothecary Diaries) is composing the music. EGG FIRM is producing the series.
Idol group =LOVE performs the show’s opening theme song “Koibito Ijō, Suki Miman” (More Than Lovers, Less Than Love, a tongue-in-cheek nod to a typical Japanese translation for the English phrase “more than friends, less than lovers.”) Hinaki Yano performs the ending theme song “Suki Kirai mo Oikoshite” (Overtaking Love and Hate).
The anime will premiere on the Tokyo MX, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV, and BS11 channels on January 3 at 11:30 p.m. (9:30 a.m. EST), and it will also run on MBS and TV Aichi.
The Class no Dai Kirai na Joshi to Kekkon suru Koto ni Natta. story first launched in March 2020 as a YouTube manga on the Manga Angel Neko Oka channel, where it has over 3 million views. Amano is the YouTube manga scriptwriter, and Mosskonbu is in charge of illustration.
