The wraparound band on the fourth volume of Mai Matsuda's Houkago Kitaku Biyori (Journey Home After School) manga announced on Thursday that an anime adaptation is in progress.

Matsuda began drawing the school romance manga in Manga Action bi-monthly magazine in August 2023. Futabasha published the third volume in October 2024.

Synopsis
Shun Satou was once a promising soccer player, but an injury shattered his dreams. Now a high school freshman, he drifts through his days without direction—until he meets Naoki Satou, a girl whose catchphrase is "I just want to go home."

Nicknamed "Naoki-chan," she's the eccentric leader of the so-called "Hyper Going-Home Club," a group that doesn't officially exist but somehow ropes Shun into its mysterious activities. Though he never intended to join, he soon finds himself caught up in Naoki's unpredictable antics. As he spends more time with her, Shun begins to realize that his once-gray world is slowly regaining color.

A lighthearted and heartfelt after-school rom-com about a girl who loves taking detours and a boy learning to move forward again.

Peak wholesome has arrived, folks! I know a LOT of people won't get this show, but the manga is like putting on your favorite broken in socks. Now, I'm hoping for a proper adaptation. A small studio will probably be in charge, but P.A. Works would be my ideal......

This is going to be real goood!
Compared to other series that just keeps adding characters to fresh up the story, this one manages to write it perfectly with mainly two people interacting.

Something similar to Giji Harem maybe.. Anyways quite rare to find such series ^_^ and now it's getting an anime as well, good job!
