The anime adaptation of the manga property Hajimete no Gal is scheduled for a July 12th, 2017 debut and there’s a lot of anticipation for it. It also looks like there will be a bit more to look forward to as the fifth volume of the manga is being listed as having a bundled Blu-ray edition with an anime episode being produced for it. This one focuses on the school cultural festival and has a planned December 26th, 2017 release date for it. The series is being directed by Hiroyuki Furukawa based on the series composition by Yuichiro Momose. Furukawa is also working on the character designs with animation being produced at NAZ.
The Japanese cast includes Shintaro Asanuma as Junichi Hashiba, Yuki Nagaku as Yukana Yane, Eri Kitamura as Ranko Honjou, Ayana Taketatsu as Yui Kashii, Yui Ogura as Shizune Fujinoki, Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Shinpei Sakamoto, Kenji Akabane as Keigo Ishida and Minoru Shiraishi as Minoru Kobayakawa.
The original property comes from creator Meguru Ueno and it began in November 2015 and just published its second volume at the end of October. It’s currently serialized in Shounen Ace magazine.
Plot Concept: Spring. The “season of love” has arrived and it seems that finding himself a girlfriend was harder than Junichi believed. To break the status quo, Junichi’s friends have forced him into confessing to the gyaru, Yame Yukana. However, things do not go quite as he expected. A series of “firsts” begins!
