Fuji TV plans to add a bit of springtime freshness to their Winter 2018 lineup.

The latest issue of Shogakukan’s Weekly Big Comic Spirits (Issue 14) revealed that the upcoming Koi wa Ameagari no You ni (Love is Like After the Rain) anime will hit Fuji TV’s noitaminA block. The series will begin airing in January 2018, though no specifics have been revealed.

An official website and Twitter account for the series were also opened earlier today. The site features a short promotional video, as well as a key visual, which you can check out below.
