Mayu Murata‘s Honey Lemon Soda romance manga is getting a TV anime adaptation.
Hiroshi Nishikiori (Argonavis from Bang Dream!, A Certain Magical Index) is directing the show at J.C.STAFF with series composition from Akiko Waba (Blue Reflection Ray), character designs from Aimi Tanaka (Sugar Apple Fairytale Episode 2, 3, 4, and 6 character designer et al.), and music from Akira Kosemura (Blue Orchestra co-composer).
The manga has been serialized in Shueisha’s RIBON since 2015 and has 24 main tankoubon volumes as of November 2023. Yen Press describes the plot as:
Uka Ishimori has one dream in life: to have fun in high school! As a self-avowed dense, stone-faced introvert who spent all of middle school hardening her heart against a daily barrage of bullying, breaking out of her shell is easier said than done. Luckily, she’s not alone—Kai Miura, a classmate whose blond hair reminds her of the lemon soda he so enjoys, has her back. Step by step, she endeavors to cast off the shadows of her past and reinvigorate her life!
