The previously announced Senpai Is an Otokonoko revealed new visuals and a 2024 release date at the Crunchyroll Industry Panel of Anime NYC 2023. Crunchyroll will stream the anime. The studio, staff and cast have yet to be announced.
Senpai is an Otokonoko manga written and illustrated by Pom. It was published digitally through Line Manga from 2019 to 2021. Ichijinsha acquired the title in 2021 and currently has 6 volumes in circulation. This manga was ranked in Anime Japan’s “Manga We Want To See Animated” poll last year.
Webtoon is distributing the manga in English and they describe it as follows: Can true love really overcome all obstacles? Saki, a high school student, confesses her feelings to Makoto. Surprised, Makoto reveals his secret, but this unexpected discovery doesn’t seem to bother Saki, who is already infatuated with him. After being rejected, Saki asks for advice from Ryuji, Makoto’s childhood friend, on how to win his heart. A love triangle unfolds when Ryuji realizes that he may also have some feelings for his old friend.
