Today the final episode of the anime adaptation of
“ Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines! “ aired,
however, despite the constant popularity of the project both inside and outside
Japan, not only because of the spectacular animation by A-1 Pictures studios
but also because of the narrative quality and personality of each of the
characters, no announcement of a sequel was made towards the end.
Interestingly, fans weren't entirely surprised by the
absence of this announcement, especially since the final episode featured a
completely original story, something that's rarely seen in the industry. Original
episodes usually appear halfway through the broadcast to serve as an
"intermission" and separate two story arcs, but the fact that it was
a final episode already gave us a bad clue.
Still, it's clear that the anime adaptation has been
wildly popular , a fact that's reflected not only in the volume
of Blu-ray sales and pre-orders, so it'll surely be a matter of time
before the long-awaited sequel arrives.
For her part, Takibi Amamori began
publishing the light novels in July 2021 through Shogakukan 's Gagaga
Bunko publishing label , with illustrations by Muru Imigi .
The novel won the fifteenth edition of the Shogakukan Light Novel Award
in 2020. A manga adaptation by Itachi has been published through
the same publisher's Manga ONE service since April 2022.
Synopsis of Makeine: Too Many Losing Heroines!
Despite not understanding much about fleeting teenage
romances, first-year high school student Kazuhiko Nukumizu keeps wondering how
he would react if his life turned into a love story. Regardless, as a
self-proclaimed “background character,” Nukumizu is content to continue his
introverted life with a meaningless social life. However, he suddenly finds
himself too close to the spotlight when he witnesses his popular classmate Anna
Yanami being rejected by her childhood friend in the middle of a family restaurant.
While Nukumizu wishes to forget what he's seen and
move on, Anna ends up forcibly confiding in Nukumizu, lamenting her status as a
childhood friend doomed to have her beloved stolen from her. Being drawn into
Anna's situation, Nukumizu soon finds himself embroiled in the romantic drama
of two other girls: Lemon Yakishio, an outgoing member of the track and field
club, and Chika Komari, a shy member of the literature club. Nukumizu steps out
of his comfort zone and becomes an important character in the lives of too many
loser heroines.
