A TV anime adaption of the light novel “Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy” has been decided.
A visual to celebrate the anime and teaser were released along with the announcement of the main staff and cast members.

“Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy” a.k.a. “OsaMake” is a light novel series written by Nimaru Shuuichi, published by “Dengeki Bunko”.
The protagonist Maru Sueharu gets depressed from hearing that his first love, Kachi Shirokusa, the popular girl of the school, got a new boyfriend. His “Loli-cute” childhood friend, Shida Kuroha, who openly expresses her love to Suheharu, offers him to help get revenge, and the unpredictable race of the heroines begins.
The series has a circulation of over 500,000 copies in total, and won 2nd place for new titles in the “Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi! 2020” bunkobon category. It is the cutting edge of the “Childhood Friend Romcom”.

The TV anime adaption in 2021 was announced in the special program on Oct. 3 with Mizunose Inori, Sakura Ayane, and Oonishi Saori, “Mizunose Inori × Sakura Ayane × Oonishi Saori ‘Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy’ Drama CD Release Celebration Special [OsaMake]”.

Under the supervision of director Naoya Takashi from “Touken Ranbu: Hanamaru”, Douga Koubou from the “NEW GAME” series and “Ikebukuro West Gate Park” worked on the animation production.
In addition to Mizunose Inori (as Shida Kuroha), Sakura Ayane (as Kachi Shirokusa), and Oonishi Saori (as Momosaka Maria), who appeared in the promo for the original work, Matsuoka Yoshitsugu will be playing the protagonist, Maru Suheharu, and Shimazaki Nobunaga will be playing Kai Tetsuhiko.

Along with this announcement, an original visual to celebrate the anime by the illustrator Shigure Ui and a teaser were revealed. Comments have arrived from the author Nimaru Shuuji, illustrator Shigure Ui, and the voice cast members.

The TV anime “Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy” is scheduled to broadcast in 2021. Let’s look forward to the revolution of the “Childhood Friend Heroin”, who’s been getting the cold shoulder, led by amazing cast members and production team.

【Author: Nimaru Shuuji】
Hi everyone, I’m Nimaru Shuuji, author of “Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy” a.k.a. “OsaMake”. I have a secret goal.
That is to “Make the 【World】 more interesting and happy 【just a little bit more】 than the world before I was born.”
Thanks to your support, the anime adaption has become true, and I’ve made a big leap towards my goal.
I’m currently working on the anime and doing my best to make it even more interesting, so please look forward to it!
Thank you.

【Illustrator: Shigure Ui】
Congratulations on the anime adaption of “Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai Love Comedy”!
As a production member of the original work, I can’t wait to see how the expression that couldn’t be depicted through illustrations, such as gestures and the tone of voice, will alter Kuroha and the characters.
I hope you will enjoy the anime “OsaMake”, too!

【Matsuoka Yoshitsugu (as Maru Sueharu)】
I think 90% of the boys can relate to this story.
The waves of comedy and seriousness come at you, making an amazing change of pace. I hope to deliver you this overwhelming energy of this story.
I saw the casting and was convinced that we would be able to make a tremendous piece of work!
We will do our best to push our limits and enjoy the production process! Thank you for your continuous support!

【Mizunose Inori (as Shida Kuroha)】
I’m Mizunose Inori, and I will be playing Shida Kuroha.
Kuorha is cunning… I mean a cute and smart, sweet little demon!
It’s hard to tell if she’s manipulating or expressing her true feelings. Just like a bottomless pit, once you fall for her charm, you can’t pull away.
I will do my best to express that charm of hers though my voice!
Try to keep up with me, because I’ll be doing everything to toy with you, haha!

【Sakura Ayane (as Kachi Shirokusa)】
I’ll be playing Kachi Shirokusa continuing from the promo.
I’m really excited to see how this battle will be depicted in animation.
I have a bad feeling if the story plays out just as the title says, but there’s nothing absolute in this world, so I won’t stand down!

【Oonishi Saori (as Momosaka Maria)】
I’m Oonishi Saori, and I will be playing Momosaka Maria.
Maria is like a little sister and calls Sueharu, “Sueharu-oniichan!”, so I was surprised when I got the role.
How was the first teaser with voices?
I hope I can perform without being myself, in a good way.
I’ll do my best to deliver you a cute Maria!

【Shimazaki Nobunaga (as Kai Tetsuhiko)】
Yes, the girl you meet dramatically is very fascinating.
But I always thought that the girl who’s always been with you is the one you should cherish.
I will believe in the title, “Osananajimi ga Zettai ni Makenai” (The childhood friend will never lose), and enjoy supporting and teasing Maru as his friend.
