Originally announced in July 2016, Memeco Arii’s property Hitorijime My Hero is getting closer as we learned during AnimeJapan 2017 that the boys-love project was being set for a summer debut. The TV series is set to land in July and head of that Avex Pictures has brought out an image promo that shows the creation of the key visual to the right, which is all manner of appealing compared to some of what we get for BL material.
Coming as a spin-off to Hitorijime Boyfriend, this series kicked off in 2012 and five volumes as of the announcement last summer. With a pair of drama CDs out as well, we’ll expect to see more on this property in the coming months from publisher Ichijinsha.
Plot concept: The property follows Kensuke’s brother, Ooshiba Kousuke and friend, Setagawa Masahiro from the Hitorijime Boyfriend manga series.
Hitorijime Boyfriend Concept: “Would you like to break up with me again or be held, which would you prefer?” My former friend with the beautiful face, whom I’ve run into again after so long, only says things that cause me trouble. In the winter of sixth grade, Kensuke was upset about having to separate from his best friend Hasekura in middle school, and ended up breaking off their friendship. Three years has passed since then, and Hasekura comes in contact with Kensuke like nothing had changed. Kensuke was happy they could repair their friendship, but Hasekura says something completely out of left field…
