The anime adaptation of Mayu Murata’s Honey Lemon Soda manga was announced earlier this month, and now we have a release window. You’ll have to wait a bit to see this one, because it’s currently slated to premiere sometime in January 2025. When the series airs, it will broadcast as part of Fuji TV’s +Ultra block.
As previously reported, Hiroshi Nishikiori (A Certain Magical Index) is directing at J.C.STAFF, with Akiko Waba (Blue Reflection Ray) on scripts, Aimi Tanaka on character designs and Akira Kosemura (Ao no Orchestra) on music.
The manga has been running since 2015, and here’s how Yen Press describes it:
Middle school left Uka Ishimori with nothing but scars—to the point where she’s forgotten how to laugh or cry or even say “hello.” But a chance reencounter with a boy with lemon-colored hair invigorates her, giving her hope that maybe, just maybe, life can be that much sweeter if she finally reaches out for help.
