The anime adaptation of the manga Gekkan Shojo Nozaki-kun is almost here as it’s set to debut on July 6th, 2014. With just a couple of days to go, a pair of new TV spots have landed for the series that gives us a thirty second spot and a fifteen second spot that works a different tone and feeling music wise from the previous extended spots that we’ve gotten.

The series previously had cast its leads, which you can see in the video below, with Yuichi Nakamura as Umetaro Nozaki, Ari Ozawa as Chiyo Sakura and Nobuhiko Kotamoto as Mikoto Mikoshiba.
