New Kannawa-senpai visual released
The upcoming comedy romance anime My Awkward Senpai (aka Bukiyou na Senpai or不器用な先輩) has a new, extremely cute, key visual out today via its official X account.
The latest My Awkward Senpai visual (below) is again of cute but abrasive protagonist Azusa Kannawa, but this time she is sitting at her desk at work cradling a to-go cup of coffee in her hands and smiling shyly at the camera.
Azusa, by the way, is being voiced by the superb VA Lynn (Atsushi in Bungou Stray Dogs).
Along with the visual, the anime’s X account also commented:
To all the new employees out there, are you getting used to your work?
Don’t try too hard, just take a break.
Now that’s some good advice!
My Awkward Senpai anime adaptation details
The anime adaptation of the Makoto Kudou-written and illustrated manga series (digitally published by Comikey) of the same name is being animated by Studio Elle.
Something that is definitely concerning, as the same studio has turned out such series as Gibiate (horrible, and rated a crazy low 3.82 on My Anime List!) and The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest (which I enjoyed but, with a rating of 5.70 percent, many others didn’t).
But, as every anime to me is a new start, there is a definite possibility My Awkward Senpai could be better.
The rom-com anime is being directed by Ayumu Kotake (Acro Trip), with Mio Inoue (episode scripts for The Eminence in Shadow) in charge of both scripts and series composition, and Kenrou Tokuda (Acro Trip) designing the characters.
The My Awkward Senpai plot goes like this and, yep, it sounds utterly sweet:
She’s beautiful, but scary and often harsh… Kannawa is a 27-year-old office worker whose reputation within the company is disappointing in many ways.
But now she has been assigned as a trainer for personable and friendly new employee Kamegawa, and for the first time, she has to instruct a junior..? Yikes!
No specific date has been announced yet for the My Awkward Senpai premiere, but it is still scheduled for a sometime-in-2025 release.
New Rom-Com Anime: An anime adaptation of the long-running PonSuka rom-com manga has also just been announced
