Kiss Him Not Me Anime Visual 001- 20160613The opening theme, Prince x Prince, is performed by boy band From4to7. The group is composed of the four male leads (Yuuki Ono, Keisuke Koumoto, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, and Nobunaga Shimazaki). Rie Murakawa performs closing theme Doki Doki no Kaze (Throbbing Heart’s Wind).

Funimation describes the show as:

Kae Serinuma believes one thing—princes belong together! As an avid boy’s love fan, she loves nothing more than fantasizing about faux relationships between the boys at her school. But when she loses weight due to the stress of her favorite anime character dying suddenly the boys want…her?! From pretty average to prettiest girl, Kae just wants these boys to date each other, not her!
