First Hajimete no Gal Anime PV Introduces Main Cast


Well… at least it’s an honest greeting?

Earlier today, Kadokawa started streaming the first teaser for Hajimete no Gal (First-Time Gal). The video opens with the aftermath of Junichi Hashiba’s confession of his love to Yukana. Yukana’s face speaks volumes, as she looks down upon Junichi’s bowing form and disdainfully remarks “gross.”

In addition to the teaser, the teaser introduces the major cast members as a perky electro-flavored melody.

Hajimete no Gal is based on Meguru Ueno’s manga of the same name. Hiroyuki Furukawa (My Wife is the Student Council President, Hybrid x Heart Magias Academy Ataraxia) is pulling double duty as director and character designer on the project at studio NAZ. Yūichirō Momose (Minori Scramble!, Sakura Internet Shinsei) is in charge of series composition for the series.

  • Junichi Hashiba: Shintarō Asanuma
  • Yukana Yame: Yuki Nagaku
  • Ranko Honjō: Eri Kitamura
  • Yui Kashii: Ayana Taketatsu
  • Shizune Fujinoki: Yui Ogura

Meguru Ueno’s Hajimete no Gal manga began publication in Kadokawa Shoten’s Monthly Shonen Ace magazine in November 2015. Two collected volumes have been released to date, with the most recent shipping on October 26.

The Hajimete no Gal anime was first unveiled in November. The series is slated for a ten-episode run (plus an OVA) when it hits Japanese TV this summer. A batch of character design sheets were previously released to introduce the major cast members. You can check these out below:
