Disney+ first debuted the trailer for Junta Shima’s Murai in Love anime way back in 2022, and there was no news about it for two whole years. All the fans eagerly waiting for the anime were disappointed entirely due to the lack of information and gave up on the anime.
Suddenly, after all this time, Disney released information about this forgotten anime.
The official website for Junta Shima’s ‘Murai in Love’ released a promotional video for Valentine’s Day. The anime is set to receive a fall premiere exclusively on the Disney+ service. The anime will also air on television in Japan, but the staff has not specified the broadcast time frame.
The brief teaser video features Murai, a high school student who confesses his love to his teacher. However, she doesn’t seem interested until he shows up in the costume of her favorite character from the otome game. The video ends with Tanaka repeatedly saying, ‘It’s not possible.’
The staff members working on the anime have been revealed, and here is the list.
