An official website launched by Kadokawa announced a television anime adaptation of Makiko Nagaoka's Keikenzumi na Kimi to, Keiken Zero na Ore ga, Otsukiai suru Hanashi. (Our Dating Story: The Experienced You and The Inexperienced Me) light novel on Friday, revealing the main staff and a teaser visual (pictured).

Staff
Director: Hideaki Ooba (Koroshi Ai, Kai Byoui Ramune)
Series Composition: Hiroko Fukuda (Taishou Otome Otogibanashi, Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san Movie)
Character Design: Yousuke Itou (Tantei wa Mou, Shindeiru., Kawaikereba Hentai demo Suki ni Natte Kuremasu ka?)
Studio: ENGI

Kadokawa began publishing the school romance light novel—also known by its short title KimiZero—in September 2020, featuring illustrations by magako. The fifth volume is scheduled for a September 20 release.

Gangan Online began serializing a manga adaptation by Noyama Carpaccio on February 23. Square Enix will publish the first volume on September 12.

Synopsis
Ryuuto Kashima is a gloomy high schooler. As part of a punishment game, he was forced to confess to Runa Shirakawa, a girl from the top of the school caste who was admired by everyone.

They ended up going out for the unexpected reason of "Err, I'm free now so..." but Ryuuto ends up following and eavesdropping on Runa being confessed by a handsome soccer club member, and Runa bringing Ryuuto, whom she had just begun dating, to her own room as a matter of course.

They have different friends and ways to have fun, and they are different in almost every way. Nonetheless, they begin to relate with each other after being surprised by their differences every day and accepting them.

Oh boi. It's ENGI again, which means Kadokawa is rather interested in making money than anime.
Sounds like this Popular Girl vs Unpopular Boy type of romcom, which we have quite a lot lately.

I didn't expected the light novel will get an anime adaptation. I've beem reading this since the novel was released and for those people will expect something from this show, don't expect something great. This is a lowkey Rent A Girlfriend + Sono Bisque Doll story.

And ENGI will animate this? Good riddance. Well that's the same for the novel.

Not a fan of Rent a Girlfriend anyone more but I loved the later series here so I'll check it out

I just hope that the romance doesn't drag and actually goes somewhere and that the guy doesn't stay a wimp for so long

Yoo IM surprised this got anime adaptation i thought the LN are not that popular i gues this is my dress up darling efect. Either way IM hype, they got good staf for the wholesome part, now i hope they nailed the drama part.
Monster of the week trope is a sign inability of the author to write a good plot so they introduce random ass villain to distract viewer with action.

My English is not good.

There is some kind of love triangle in the light novel, but not a harem.

Never heard of this LN title.

So I went to the LN community to check for responses. One of them mentioned that this LN is similar to My First Girlfriend Is A Gal. Never heard of that anime too. :/

Popular Girl and gloomy* boy.

I hanged out in the LN community. The most common types of romcoms are:
1) Popular Girl and gloomy boy. A lot of them has "Angel" in the title.
2) Started dating from a penalty game. A lot of these types of romcom LNs have not gotten English translation.
3) Popular girl wants to be spoilt by boy (most of the time average boy). There is a new one last month in HJ Bunko.

By the way, the number of new romcom LNs outnumber isekai LNs~

If I may remember, I think not but there's a girl there who is obsessed with the MC and acts like Mami from Rent a Girlfriend.
Who knows? The novel is still ongoing though. I wish it would not like Osamake.

If you read the novel, I think it was mentioned there. The girl is a whore or some shit.

oh sorry my bad , it wasn't mentioned in the synopsis , i read it in some reviews
well , the title is sussy enough to makes me realise it though x)

@ninka22
yep my reaction will be the same , i dropped some anime/manga because the mc was a playboy
when it comes to romance/comedy and cgdct i demand a high level of purity , i watch them to relax and warm my heart not for some shitty angsty drama
even though i hate playboys/whores i wouldn't mind them in a dark anime

There is a 2nd girl, that girl is related to the fmc, so she knows her boundary and the MC is dedicated to the FMC anyway

Yeah, but I meant something else. As I noticed, we are already consistently getting 1-2 such shows per season. In this it is Mamahaha.

Hate to break it to you but it's a bad romance actually. We have an unpopular virgin guy and a whore who dated a bunch of men until she picked him. I think the last volume ends when after they stranded on a love hotel because of a storm. And we have also a bitch who is obssesed with the MC.

Just because girl dated a bunch of men doesn't make her a whore even if she had sex with them. She wasn't cheating on any of her boyfriends while she was dating them and wasn't selling her body for money. So haw is she a whore. If a man dated a bunch of women and had sexual relationship with them while he dated each of them would you call that man a whore. So if your a guy you sleep with many girls your cool. but when girls sleep with many guys she's a whore?

manga is quite cute so far.
