After working on the Pet Girl of Sakurasou property for awhile, writer Hajime Kamoshida and illustrator Keeji Mizoguchi kicked off another series a few years back with the Seishun Buta Yarō light novel. An anime adaptation was announced as in the works back in March 2018 with Seishun Buta Yarō wa Bunny Girl-senpai no Yume wo Minai, which translates as The Young Pig-Rascal Isn’t Dreaming of a Bunny Girl Upperclassman.
The series has been set for an October 2018 debut and the official site has now delivered the visual to the right as well as revealing that Atsumi Tanezaki has boarded the project to play Rio Futaba in the show. Check out the character video below.
The light novels began in April 2014 with seven volumes out so far. A manga by Tsugumi Nanamiya kicked off in 2016 which has one volume published so far.
