Not everyone is a protagonist in an anime, there are also background characters who no one remembers. Junta from Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible is such a mob character that people always fail to notice him.
Teachers think he is absent despite him sitting in class, no one calls upon him for answers, and even the facial recognition feature of phones don’t work on him.
Shueisha has just announced that the Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible manga has been greenlit for an anime adaptation. Now, you’ll be able to watch Kubo’s embarrassingly invisible moments live.
Two cute new visuals have been revealed to commemorate the animation’s decision. In the first one, Kubo, Junta’s classmate, is annoying him like always. Apparently, she is the only one who can notice him. (Who else can smell a ship?)
The second visual is actually an illustration drawn by Nene Yukimori, the manga’s author.
The staff members for the upcoming anime have been announced, and studio PINE JAM is animating it.
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Kazuomi Koga | Rent-A-Girlfriend |
| Series Composition | Yūya Takahashi | Lupin III: Part IV |
| Character Designer | Yoshiko Saitō | Comic Girls |
Both the cast members for the two main characters have also been announced:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Junta Shiraishi | Kengo Kawanishi | Gen (Dr. Stone) |
| Nagisa Kubo | Kana Hanazawa | Ai Kitora (World Trigger) |
Kubo and Junta make a really cute pair, but soon you’ll get to know how Kubo pouts her way into making Junta do all kinds of weird stuff. Her favorite hobby? To experiment with Junta and make him noticeable.
This sweet adolescent comedy will melt your heart as you slowly get attached to this duo.
