A full-length trailer has been released for the My Clueless First Friend anime adaptation ahead of its newly announced April 2023 premiere.
New cast members were also announced in the form of Kengo Kawanishi as Daichi Hino, Reina Kondou as Umi Adachi, and Atsumi Tanezaki as Yukiko Takada.
My Clueless First Friend is based on the Square Enix-published manga by Taku Kawamura. The plot is described as:
One lonely, gloomy fifth-grade girl is the target of her classmates’ relentless bullying and teasing—that is, until a new kid arrives on the scene. Friendly Takada is as clueless as he is well-meaning, but somehow he possesses the magic ability to start drawing “Grim Reaper” Nishimura out of her shell. As the elementary schoolers experience all the fun of a childhood summer together—from going to the pool to picking sunflowers to watching fireworks—an unusual friendship blossoms!
Shigenori Kageyama (Dynamic Chord) is directing the show with Takafumi Hoshikawa (Gekijouban Hakuouki Chapter 1 and 2 assistant director) and Shougo Yasukawa (The Executioner and Her Way of Life series composer) as series composers, Chikashi Kadekaru (Mieruko-chan) as character designer, and Toshio Masuda (Kamisama Kiss) as music composer. St.Signpost is the animation production company.
The main cast includes Konomi Kohara as Akane Nishimura and Shizuka Ishigami as Taiyo Takada.
My Clueless First Friend began serialization in Square Enix’s Gangan Joker in May 2018 and released its 13th tankoubon volume in November 2022. The manga was originally a Twitter comic.
