Sora Akizuki's love life goes nowhere fast, and that is exactly the point of My Crush's Crush. The school romantic comedy has released its first teaser trailer, giving the looping love triangle of Sora, Asahi Suzukaze and Miya Fuwa its first animated scenes.
The reveals arrived through the official website of My Crush's Crush, which posted the teaser alongside a teaser visual and the main cast and staff lineups. Each of the three students at the center of the story has a crush, and each of those crushes belongs to somebody else.
Inside the teaser, the three leads introduce themselves through a run of flustered, blushing exchanges that map out exactly who loves whom. Sora pines for Miya, Miya adores Clinical Trials Club president Asahi, and Asahi quietly carries a torch of her own, so no arrow in the diagram points back.
Watch the teaser trailer here:
The teaser visual released alongside the trailer shows Sora, Asahi and Miya lying side by side on a school rooftop, gazing up at the sky. Its bright, youthful composition sells the series as a sunlit school romance, however tangled the feelings underneath.
Leading the cast is the trio at the center of the loop:
Gakuto Kajiwara (Asta in Black Clover) as Sora Akizuki, the second-year student whose confession kicks the story off.
Haruna Mikawa (Satoko Kusagakure in A Ninja and an Assassin Under One Roof) as Asahi Suzukaze, the third-year president of the Clinical Trials Club.
Nene Hieda (Misa Ilioroagu in The Misfit of Demon King Academy) as Miya Fuwa, the first-year student who turns Sora down.
Behind the camera, Kazuomi Koga directs the series at project No.9. Yoriko Tomita handles series composition, Takayuki Noguchi designs the characters and Rina Tayama composes the music, and the announcement billed the team as romantic comedy specialists, pointing to Koga's work on Rent-A-Girlfriend, Tomita's on My Dress-Up Darling and Noguchi's on The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.
