Honey Lemon Soda’s romance manga series
by Mayu Murata is about to be adapted into a TV anime.
Hiroshi Nishikiori (Argonavis in Bang Dream!, A Some Magical Index) is directing the show at JCSTAFF with series staging from Akiko Waba (Blue Reflection Ray), character design from Aimi Tanaka ( Sugar Apple Fairytale Volumes 2, 3, 4 and 6 character designers and others), and music by Akira Kosemura (co-wrote Blue Orchestra).
The manga has been serialized on 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 dense, poker-faced introvert who spent his entire middle school career hardening his heart against a barrage of daily bullying, coming out of his shell was easier said than done. Luckily, she wasn’t alone—Kai Miura, a classmate whose blonde hair reminded her of the lemonade he liked so much, supported her. Step by step, she strives to erase the darkness of her past and energize her life!
