A press release confirmed that the light novels written by Hiromu and illustrated by Raemz, "Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle (Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka)," will have an anime adaptation that will premiere sometime in 2025 in Japan. The statement did not reveal the production details, so we will have to wait for more details soon.

It is worth noting that this story is considered "the definitive weapon of light romance novels", as the following comments point out:

  • "It's finally here! Thank you life!"
  • "Finally! I'm too excited!"
  • "Anime adaptation confirmed! Anime adaptation confirmed! Woohoo!!! Anime adaptation confirmed!!".
  • "Really, congratulations! It was worth following Chiramune from the first volume!"
  • "I knew that the anime adaptation of Chiramune would eventually come."
  • "The ultimate weapon has arrived."
  • "It finally arrived!! But it all depends on the animation studio."
  • "It's finally going to be adapted into anime... I knew it would happen one day, so it's great news, and I want everyone to know about this play."

Hiromu began publishing the light novels through Shogakukan's Gagaga Bunko publishing house in June 2019. The work is also inspiring a manga adaptation by Bobcat, which has been published on Square Enix's Manga Up! website since April 2020.

"Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle" achieved the first position in the annual popularity ranking Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!, specifically in 2021 and 2022, and the second position in 2023, which earned it a direct entry into the "Light Novel Hall of Fame". This caused, however, that the series can no longer be considered to participate in future votes, precisely because it is already on this other permanent list.

Few franchises have received this award, including "Oregairu: My Youth Romantic Comedy Is Wrong, As I Expected," "Sword Art Online," "Toaru Majutsu no Index," "The Ryuo's Work Is Never Done!," "Ascendance of a Bookworm," and "Classroom of the Elite."

Synopsis of Chitose is in the Ramune Bottle

"After all, death is better than a life without beauty." Saku Chitose lives the good life. He has his friends, his harem of good aunts, and those who hate him. What more could you ask for? However... Your reputation as a problem solver may be more problematic than it's worth. So when a teacher gives you the task of getting an outcast back to school, it's not like you can disengage. But don't worry. After all, there's nothing I can't do... right?
