Get ready to fall in love with a new anime! Publisher Kadokawa has just announced that Ayune Araragi’s delightful romantic comedy detective manga, ‘Isshiki-san wa Koi o Shiritai,’ will be receiving an anime adaptation. To celebrate this exciting news, mangaka Ayune Araragi even released a special illustration featuring the beloved characters, Rinna and Meishi.
For those unfamiliar, ‘Isshiki-san wa Koi o Shiritai’ (which charmingly translates to ‘Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love’) began its journey in ‘Monthly Shonen Ace’ in December 2020. This current series, set in Japan with familiar faces, is a spiritual successor to Araragi’s earlier work, ‘Rinna Keibu wa Kokyu ga Dekinai.’ That original manga, which ran from October to December 2016 in ‘Monthly Comic Rex,’ was set in London before evolving into the fan-favorite ‘Isshiki-san.’ The ‘Isshiki-san wa Koi o Shiritai’ manga has already captivated readers across eight collected volumes in Japan.

But how will this plan unfold for someone who knows absolutely nothing about romance? Prepare for a hilarious and heartwarming journey as Inspector Isshiki attempts to understand the intricacies of love through a very unconventional method.
