A romance is born in My Awkward Senpai
A press release confirmed that the manga written and illustrated by Makoto Kudou, "My Awkward Senpai (Bukiyou na Senpai.)", will have an anime adaptation that will premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan. This confirms the leak reported a few days ago, and the statement revealed the production details and voice cast as well.
The author shared a special illustration to celebrate this announcement, accompanied by the following comment:
- "An anime will be made! It's great news, isn't it? This is all thanks to you, who have continued to read since it was posted on social media and began serialization in Young Gangan. I'm a person who only knows how to draw, so I basically leave the whole production process to the experts. In the end, everyone does their own thing, right? In addition, the voice actors and production team are full of wonderful people. With feelings similar to those of a father saying goodbye to his children, I think: 'Please take good care of my little ones.' I hope you are also looking forward to the "My Awkward Senpai" anime. It would be a great honor!"
For his part, Makoto Kudou began publishing the manga in December 2019 through Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine, where it is still in serialization. Previously he wrote other works such as "Mokuyoubi wa Kimi to Nakitai.", "HG ni Koisuru Futari", among others.

Synopsis of My Awkward Senpai
Kannawa-senpai has always been known for her clumsiness. While others might describe her as a kind-hearted or dedicated person, "quiet" is not a word anyone would use. Social situations often leave her speechless and she tends to doubt herself at all times. However, his world is turned upside down when he meets Kamegawa, his new kouhai. From the moment they meet, his disarming charm, friendly nerdy nature, and genuine nature make him surprisingly easy to talk to, something Kannawa isn't used to.
