We’ve got a fresh look at next year’s anime adaptation of Honey Lemon Soda, the manga by Mayu Murata.
Revealed today are the series’ first promo video and a fresh piece of key art showing off the series’ lead characters.
We’ve also got some details on who’s starring in the series: Kana Ichinose as Uka Ishimori and Shogo Yano as Kai Miura.
As previously revealed, the series will hit screens in January 2025. 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 Honey Lemon Soda manga has been running since 2015, and received a live-action film adaptation in 2021. 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.
You can read our review of Honey Lemon Soda, which Danica Davidson calls an “all-out shojo manga,” here.
