There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless… Anime Teaser
Natsumi Uchinuma (episodes of More than a Married Couple, but Not Lovers.) directs, with Naruhisa Arakawa (This Art Club Has a Problem!) on series composition and kojikoji and Yoshiaki Fujisawa on character designs for the MOTHER production.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes both the original novels and Musshu’s manga adaptation in English, describing the story as such:
There’s No Freaking Way I’ll Be Your Lover! Unless… Plot
A high school yuri comedy about fake dating, real dating, competitive dating–and one very overwhelmed girl who’s accidentally doing all three at once?!
Awkward, introverted Amaori Renako is leaving her lonely middle school life behind, determined to become an outgoing and popular high schooler. Glamorous, confident Oduka Mai is Renako’s total opposite: wealthy, carefree, and a literal fashion model. Against the odds, the two girls form an immediate connection. Renako thinks she may have found the best friend of her dreams…until Mai’s love confession sends her feelings into a tailspin. Renako wants to prove to Mai that being BFFs is better than being girlfriends, but Mai is dead set on convincing Renako that they’re destined to be lovers!
