Nobuhiko Okamoto, Ai Kakuma Star in Momokuri TV Anime Series

Satelight animates romantic comedy series slated to debut later this year

The teaser website for the anime adaptation of Kurose's Momokuri manga revealed on Saturday that Nobuhiko Okamoto will voice the love interest, Shinya Momotsuki (Momo), and Ai Kakuma will voice the female lead, Yuki Kurihara.

Yoshimasa Hiraike (Amagami SS, Kaleido Star New Wings, AKB0048) is directing the anime at animation studio Satelight (Macross Frontier, The Disappearance of Nagato Yuki-chan) with producer Fumio Kaneko (AKB0048, Log Horizon) also on the project. Lantis will produce the music. The anime will premiere this year.

The story of the manga revolves around Yuki Kurihara, a girl who has finally been granted her wish of dating her crush Momo. At first glance, she just looks like a normal but very cute girl. However, she is in fact a maniac over Momo, taking notes of his activities and never missing the chance to see him in a cute moment. Momo, on the other hand, is inexperienced in love, and just wants to make Yuki happy.

Kurose began the manga on the Comico free manga app in January 2014.
