For international audiences, Crunchyroll has secured the streaming rights and will simulcast the anime in various regions, including North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, CIS, and India.
The Story of Opposites Attracting
The anime is based on Kōcha Agasawa’s popular romantic comedy manga, which concluded its serialization on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ platform in November 2024. The story centers on Miyu Suzuki and Yusuke Tani, two high school students who are, as the title suggests, polar opposites.
Miyu Suzuki: The Energetic and Outgoing Lead
Suzuki is characterized as an energetic, cheerful, and outgoing girl who often follows the crowd, even when she might not genuinely feel like it. She is conscious of others’ perceptions and struggles with how to express her feelings to Tani.
Yusuke Tani: The Quiet and Blunt Counterpart
In contrast, Yusuke Tani is a quiet, introverted, and stoic boy who isn’t afraid to speak his mind bluntly and doesn’t seem to care what others think of him. Despite their contrasting personalities, Suzuki develops a crush on Tani, unaware that he secretly harbors feelings for her as well. The series will follow their developing relationship and the issues faced by their friends, exploring how these two individuals, despite their differences, navigate the complexities of teenage romance.
