The first season premiered in April of this year with Hiroaki Akagi as director. Jukki Hanada wrote the scripts and Masato Katsumata adapted the character designs from the manga. Hina Yomiya voices the female protagonist Anna Yamada, while Shun Horie voices the male counter-part Kyotaro Ichikawa.
The TV anime is based on the manga written and illustrated by Norio Sakurai which has been ongoing since 2018. Seven Seas Entertainment is licensing the title in English. HIDIVE and Bilibili are streaming the first season of the anime, and the latter describes the series as follows:
Kyoutaro Ichikawa may have the appearance of a typical middle schooler, but his heart is filled with murderous fantasies. It is therefore not surprising that Anna Yamada, the class idol, is constantly on his thoughts as the person he wants to kill the most. He unintentionally starts a meeting with Yamada while reading alone in his favorite school library, and she shows up to sneakily feast on her favorite candies and sweets. Ichikawa learns how much of a ditz Yamada is via their conversations and is forced to cheer her on from the sidelines. Yamada herself can’t help but tease Ichikawa nonstop because of his agitated responses. The distant connection between the two deepens into something more than just library acquaintances as a result of a variety of touching daily interactions. Ichikawa might eventually understand that his violent fantasies have changed into something quite else.
