The official website of the Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! (Go For It, Nakamura!) television anime revealed the main cast and the first promotional video on Saturday. The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2025.

Chiaki Kobayashi (SK∞) and Yuuki Sakakihara (Dead Mount Death Play) are starring as Okuto Nakamura and Aiki Hirose, respectively. Kappei Yamaguchi (Ranma ½) and Junko Takeuchi (Naruto), who voiced the main duo in the series' audio drama, are also part of the anime's cast as unannounced characters.

Aoi Umeki (Poputepipikku) is directing as well as designing the characters at Drive. Yasuko Aoki (Studio Monad) (Amagami-san Chi no Enmusubi) is handling the series composition and penning the script with Umeki. Ayana Tsujita (Momochi-san Chi no Ayakashi Ouji) is composing the music.

Syundei drew the boys love manga in Opera magazine from December 2014 to August 2016. The Motto Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! (Go for It Again, Nakamura!) sequel began in the same magazine in June 2017. Akane Shinsha published the original manga and the sequel in May 2017 and August 2021, and released a new edition of each on August 16. The manga is scheduled to return from hiatus this winter and serialize on Comiplex website.

Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both manga in English in 2017 and 2021. The first volume was released in July 2018, followed by the second volume in July 2022.

@Memore I was pleasantly surprised when I read the post because I thought it was one of those manga hiatuses that would be "indefinite" forever.

@luffysenchou Judging by the release of Acro Trip sequel, anime is now so popular that it is even capable of bringing back completed series, not just paused ones.

This year has been amazing with BL releases and news, it all seems too good to be true
I'm not sure what I did in a past life to deserve this adaption and the hiatus ending, but I accept it

That was a very soft and cute PV! Looks interesting even though I'm not really a fan of high school romance. I hope it won't disappoint cause most BLs tend to disappoint me. The only BL I found entertaining was Cherry Magic




RUNNING returned to me in an even more beautiful form.
Can one man be so blessed?

Whoa, it looks good! Although I'll have to adjust to their voices since I didn't imagine Hirose's voice being that high or Nakamura's voice being that low. Also doesn't help that I think Kappei Yamaguchi voiced Nakamura in the drama CD and I like the idea of him - or a voice actor with a similar voice - for Nakamura (and in Yamaguchi's case, his voice is already tied to some iconic older characters, which would play well into how this series looks like it could be from the 80s).

@Gisilfrid Honestly, this isn't much of a high school romance. The main character has a crush on the other boy, but this series is more of a comedy surrounding that.
