 Aniplex opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Syundei's Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! (Go For It, Nakamura!) manga on Friday, revealing a commemorative illustration (pictured) by the original creator. Syundei serialized the boys love manga in Opera from December 2014 to August 2016. The Motto Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!! (Go for It Again, Nakamura!) sequel began 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. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed both manga in English in 2017 and 2021 and released the first volume in July 2018, followed by the second volume in July 2022. Synopsis Okuto Nakamura is a timid and gloomy-looking student who cherishes only two things in this world: his pet octopus and his kind-hearted classmate, Aiki Hirose. Ever since the school entrance ceremony, Nakamura has admired his jovial classmate, albeit from a distance due to his poor social skills. After mustering up all the coursage within him, he finally decides to talk to Hirose. During this first attempt to make contact, an instinctive mistake turns the idea of friendship into a distant dream, as he creates a hilarious impression on his crush. At school, students are expected to cooperate on numerous activities together, meaning Nakamura gets to spend extra time with Hirose. Given these opportunities, can he successfully redeem himself and accomplish his goal of becoming good friends with Hirose?

| Very excited to see this one in TV form. Curious as to the amount of episodes and how they'll adapt the source since it's only two volumes, but I have high hopes it'll be stellar. |

| Wait, this is not that legendary manga from the 80s? A sequel or an homage or something? @Beefy_Monster I think you are confusing BL with Yaoi. BL is an umbrella term that includes any male gay content. |

| @Memore As I understand it, this is the manga that I originally thought about, it just turned out to be much newer than I expected. I thought this title was the same age as Stop! Hibari-kun. |

| @RobertBobert, no, it is much more new. |

| Hope there is no sexual assault or dubcon in this one. People are praising Tasogare Out Focus this season and it's utter shit, MC literally got sexually assaulted followed by a lecture on how gay people don't assault everyone and the second relation had a dubcon scene and they just skip past most of the development to jump right in to sex scenes. |

| @Maou_heika I haven't read this manga, but from what I've heard, it's just a satirical CBDCT. |

| So excited for this adaptation! BL fans are eating good lately with all the new shows and new announcements. It's probably gonna be in short form because there's only 2 volumes right now but it's really cool to see one of Syundei's works being adapted. |
 |
| Aagh, this is so cool! I loved the manga but since it was so short, i never thought it would get an adaptation in a million years. I wonder if theyll do episodes with a shorter runtime, just hopefully not too short. Of course, if the creator is on board, i wonder if she'll write new material for them. Anyways, still excited. I hope its given to a studio that cares about it lol |
| Well . . . that was unexpected. I hope they do a good job with it. I can't see how anyone can mess up this simple yet wholesome and cute story, but anime has been surprising me lately by how bad it can get. |
| Let’s gooooo 🙌 I’ve been wanting to read this manga. So glad it’s getting an anime! |
      |
| Did not expect this at all. Also curious if they even have enough content since isn't the manga only 2 volumes? Since it's TV anime, I assume this will be a series. |
| Another healthy BL is cool, but I wanted something toxic. |
 |
| Oh, I remember reading this one. Looking forward to this!! |
  |
| OMG Finally! I've been waiting this to get adapted TT finally we got funny and cute BL. I can't wait for this, instant ptw! |

| I never thought this would be possible, especially a TV anime considering how short it is and finishing years ago. I can't wait to hear more! |
| THE WAY I FUCKING GASPED AND HAD TO IMMEDIATELY LOG ON TO COMMENT. I did recently see that the sequel is on hiatus, which was slightly disappointing but not surprising since there hadn't been updates for a while, but to find out that the original series will be getting an anime adaptation was not something I would've ever expected. Wow, this is great to hear. I like the manga on its own and it's good enough for me, but it's rare for a BL series that I give a damn about to actually get an anime and anime does shine more light on a series than it would've gotten otherwise. "Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!" deserves that spotlight. |

| @Kaikaidou Yeah, it would've made more sense if this would be a movie. Feels like with the series being only volume (excluding the sequel) that they'll have to write up some new content to fill even a 12-episode runtime. Not that I'm complaining. It'll be great if they get Syundei on board and I hope that the anime-original stuff really adds to the story. |

| @bucciest could also be possible they just decide to have only 8 - 10 episodes to it, it happens (see shoushimin series and suicide squad isekai this season, both 10 episodes only) |

| @DatRandomDude They can still make short episodes or add original material since the manga is episodic. |

| Ahh this is going to bring more 🐜🐜 out of the woodworks complaining about this mangaka's dark other works in comparison to this ~pure, wholesome~ one. Excited to see how this turns out. =) |

| *inhales* I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT SINCE 2019 I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS HAPPENING OH MY GOD MY BELOVED BOIS ARE FINALLY GETTING ANIMATED!!!!! YES GOD YES THANK YOU!!!!!! I'm excited. Can you tell I'm excited? Because I am. VERY. Also, I hope to God they use the same seiyuu as the drama CD. I need Kappei Yamaguchi as Nakamura, I don't care, that's just how things are supposed to be. EDIT: AND PLEASE LET KIETA HATSUKOI BE NEXT IN LINE FOR AN ANIME ADAPTATION PLEASEEE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY I'LL DIE HAPPY |

| @zedtronic Haven't listened to the drama CD (wasn't even aware that there was one), but Kappei Yamaguchi as Nakamura is a good casting choice! Hope the anime keeps him as Nakamura as well, but for some reason I get the feeling the VAs might be different. zedtronic said: PLEASE LET KIETA HATSUKOI BE NEXT IN LINE FOR AN ANIME ADAPTATION Agreed. "Kieta Hatsukoi" absolutely needs an anime adaptation. It's either that and/or "Blue Flag" that deserves an adaptation next. |
