After producing a spot last year for the third volume of the series, A-1 Pictures is back with a new TV spot advertising the manga Yugami-kun ni wa Tomodachi ga Inai by Jun Sakura. The title translates as He Does Not Have Any Friends and was originally serialized in Shonen Sunday S magazine before going to Weekly Shonen Sunday. The series is releasing its fifth volume this week. What once again makes this ad stand out a bit more is that it’s got A-1 Pictures producing the 30 second spot, which definitely gives it a leg up on the competition with a very slick looking presentation.
Plot concept: The story of the comedy manga revolves around Yūji Yugami and Chihiro Watanuki, who sit next to each other in class. Unfortunately for Chihiro, the transfer student Yūji is weird… extremely weird. Even though he’s the ace of the baseball club, he hasn’t adapted to the club at all. He also stands apart from the rest of the class, but seems completely satisfied with being alone.
