Discotek Media mad a pickup that pleased a lot of fans back in 2018 as the two seasons for Haruka Nogizaka’s Secret were acquired. With the show basically one that was lost since its original airing in getting a pickup, it was definitely welcome. The show is now getting some promotion through RetroCrush as they’ve added a new five-minute clip from the first episode showing where the always fun hot spring material got underway very quickly and to great effect!
The series originally aired in 2008 but was one of many lost to the financial market chaos of the time and the market contraction on the anime distributor side.
Plot concept: Yūto Ayase attends Hakujō Academy, a private high school in Japan. His classmate, Haruka Nogizaka, is not only very attractive but is intelligent and rich, garnering her the title as the school’s idol. However, one day when Yūto’s friend asks him to return a book to the library, he unexpectedly stumbles across Haruka and her deepest, darkest secret—she is an otaku!! Promising to keep her secret hidden, Yūto and Haruka become close friends, helping Haruka with her secret hobby and developing their relationship together.
