The
strategy of using romantic clichés to make your best friend fall in love is
about to be put to the test on screen. The production committee behind the
animated adaptation of I Want to End This Love Game (known in
Japan as Aishiteru Game or Owarasetai) released a new promotional
poster packed with details. Fans of school romance stories can mark their
calendars, as it was confirmed that the series will debut on television
on April 14.
Along with
the premiere date, the artists in charge of bringing the sound section of this
sweet story to life were revealed. The renowned project CHICO with
Honeyworks will inject all their talent into the opening theme
titled "Kimi no Sei de Aishiteru," while the group PompadollS will
be responsible for the ending theme called "Little World."
I Want
to End This Love Game Details
The
animation of this tender rom-com falls on the corridors of
the Felix Film studio. In the director's chair is Azuma
Tani, working in tandem with Keiichiro Ochi, who takes on the
important task of writing and supervising the scripts for the series (after his
good work on comedies such as Girlfriend, Girlfriend). The friendly
character designs are by Yuki Fukuchi, and veteran Akito
Matsuda (Sound! Euphonium) is in charge of composing the
original music.
What is
the story about?
The premise
follows Yukiya, a young man who decides to leave behind his old image of a
nerdy and quiet boy to give a radical change to his appearance in high school.
However, all this great transformation has a single, clear goal in mind: to
conquer the heart of her childhood best friend, Miku.
Using the
girl's favorite shojo manga as his main weapon and seduction
guide, Yukiya is more than prepared to corral her against the wall and throw
killer glances at her. Will these daring advances succeed in making her friend's
heart beat a thousand miles an hour, or will she end up making a fool of
herself in her attempt to make her fall in love?
About
the original work
Mangaka Yuki Domoto began
publishing this story through Shogakukan's Sunday Webry website
in 2021. The work has connected wonderfully with young audiences thanks to its
fun premise about the games of love, and its eighth printed compilation volume
will go on sale in Japan on April 10, just in time to celebrate the premiere of
the anime.
