An anime adaptation of Go For It, Nakamura! is in production. There is absolutely no information on it right now, but more details will appear later on. [Thanks, Excite News!]
Author and illustrator Syundei has posted a picture of the main characters to commemorate this announcement. They also uploaded artwork of Hirose in front of a glass of cream soda. Meanwhile, chibi versions of his classmates are hanging out on and around the glass.
Go For It, Nakamura! is a BL manga series that follows Nakamura, a closeted high schooler, who has a secret crush on his classmate, Aiki Hirose. The cover of the first volume, focusing a blushing Nakamura thinking about Hirose, was a meme template for a while, with fan artists drawing their ships using this format. In terms of genre, the manga is a comedic boys’ love story that follows Nakamura’s numerous failed attempts to talk to Hirose. In terms of artwork, Syundei has employed a style that’s similar to manga from the 1980s and 1990s.
As of the time of writing, there’s no information on the cast or the staff. It’s highly unlikely that the anime will use the voice actors who appeared in the audio drama though. In the audio drama version of the manga, Kappei Yamaguchi voiced Nakamura and Junko Takeuchi voiced Hirose. Yamaguchi’s prominent roles include Inuyasha (Inuyasha), Usopp (One Piece), and L (Death Note). Meanwhile, Takeuchi’s known for her work as Gon (Hunter x Hunter 1999), Naruto (Naruto), and Endou (Inazuma Eleven).
