Getting out
of the friend zone is an extreme risky sport, but trying to make your best
friend fall in love with her favorite sleeves is another level of madness.
Thankfully, we already have a new promo trailer for the animated adaptation
of I Want to End This Love Game (Aishiteru Game or
Owarasetai). This video not only lets us see the protagonist's funny
attempts at seduction, but also gives us a preview of its official opening and
confirms that this romantic war will premiere on Japanese television on April
14.

So that
this school comedy doesn't feel like just another generic rom-com of the
season, the project fell into the hands of the Felix Film studio.
The director's chair is occupied by Azuma Tani, who has the strong
backing of Keiichiro Ochi in the composition and supervision
of the scripts, ensuring that the rhythm of the jokes is not lost. As for the
redesign of the characters for the screen, the task fell to Yuki
Fukuchi.
The musical
section looks pretty good for J-Pop fans, as the catchy opening track, titled
"Kimi no Sei de Aishiteru," will be performed by the popular duo
of CHICO with Honeyworks and will be released on digital platforms
right on the day of the premiere. To close the episodes with something quieter,
the ending "Little World" will be in charge of the group PompadollS.
About I
Want to End This Love Game
If the
premise still doesn't catch you, you should know that the original manga was
created by Yuki Domoto and has been published on the Sunday
Webry platform since 2021. The story begins when Yukiya decides to
send her quiet nerd image to hell and throws herself the best *glow-up* in high
school with only one goal in mind: to steal the heart of her childhood best
friend, Miku.
Their
brilliant and embarrassing strategy? Use her favorite shojo sleeves
as instruction manual. Yukiya is one hundred percent willing to corner her
against the wall, stare at her and spout killer phrases typical of a fictional
heartthrob to make her beat a thousand per hour. Obviously, the plan clashes
with reality and everything becomes a game of pride, where the first one who
blushes or gets nervous, loses.
