posted on by Karen Ressler
Kadokawa began streaming the first promotional video for the television anime of Meguru Ueno's Hajimete no Gal (First-Time Gal) manga on Saturday. At the beginning of the video Yukana looks down on the protagonist Junichi and says "gross." The video then introduces the main cast.
The cast includes:
Shintarō Asanuma as Junichi Hashiba
Yuki Nagaku as Yukana Yame
Eri Kitamura as Ranko Honjō
Ayana Taketatsu as Yui Kashii
Yui Ogura as Shizune Fujinoki
Hiroyuki Furukawa (My Wife is the Student Council President, Sin Strange Plus) is directing the anime and designing the characters at NAZ (Hamatora). Yūichirō Momose ("Sakura Internet Shinsei" net series) is handing series composition.
The anime will premiere in July, and will have 10 episodes and one OVA.
The romantic comedy begins with Junichi "Jun" Hashiba, an uncool high school student who frets about wanting to lose his virginity. Egged on by his friends, Jun gets on his knees and confesses his love to a classmate named Yukana Yame. The confession surprisingly works and the couple goes out. However, Jun finds himself in uncharted waters with Yame, a trendy and fashion-conscious "gal" (gyaru).
Ueno launched the manga in Kadokawa's Monthly Shōnen Ace magazine in November 2015. Kadokawa published the third volume on March 25.
