Sure, love is tough for otaku… but something tells me that at least a few fans will fall head over heels for this one.
Earlier today, the official Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii (Love is Hard for an Otaku) anime website updated with a new key visual. The image features characters Hanako Koyanagi and Tarō Kabakura, set against a white background.
A third trailer, which features Naoya Nifuji and Kō Sakuragi will be released on January 18.
Otaku ni Koi wa Muzukashii will air on Fuji TV’s NoitaminA block in April. A-1 Pictures is producing the project.
