I Became Friends With the Second Cutest Girl In Class: Release Date, Characters, When And Where To Watch
In a heartwarming turn of events, an anime adaptation has been officially announced for Takata’s beloved light novel series, “Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta” (I Became Friends with the Second Cutest Girl in Class). The revelation came during the Sneaker Bunko 35th Anniversary Festa! event held on a delightful Sunday, filling fans’ hearts with anticipation and joy.
A Tale of Friendship Blossoms: The Origin Story
Allow me to share a personal connection with this story. As a high school student, I, Maehara Maki, found it challenging to forge meaningful friendships. The bustling corridors and lively classrooms seemed like a world apart from my solitary existence. Yet, fate had a unique path in mind for me.
Enter Asanagi, a girl who, intriguingly, held the unofficial title of “the second cutest girl in class” among the boys. It was a title whispered in hushed tones, almost a secret club’s designation. Yet, Asanagi chose to spend her cherished Fridays not with her best friend Amami, the proclaimed “cutest girl in class,” but with me. Our bond was a hidden treasure, tucked away from the prying eyes of the world.
The Birth of ‘Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta’
Our heartwarming tale mirrors the essence of “Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta,” lovingly referred to as Kuranika. Takata embarked on this romantic comedy journey by penning the series on the Kakuyomu website in November 2020. Kadokawa recognized the brilliance of the narrative and began publishing it under its esteemed Sneaker Bunko imprint in December 2021. Tom Osabe’s enchanting illustrations further brought the story to life.
Fast forward to the present day, and Kuranika boasts a cumulative circulation of over 200,000 copies of its volumes. A testament to the heartwarming nature of the story and the captivating characters that reside within its pages.
The Manga Adaptation
But the journey didn’t end there. Rin Ono took up the mantle to serialize a manga adaptation on the Alive+ web magazine in July 2022. This visual medium breathed new life into the story, allowing fans to experience the enchanting world of Kuranika in a different light. Kadokawa has since released the second volume of the manga on May 26, leaving readers eager for more.
The Anime Announcement
Now, the excitement reaches new heights with the announcement of the anime adaptation at the Sneaker Bunko 35th Anniversary Festa! event. While the format of the anime is yet to be revealed—whether it will grace our screens as a television series or take on a different form—fans can’t contain their anticipation.
Conclusion: A Tale of Friendship and Joy
As I reminisce about the special moments shared with Asanagi, I can’t help but smile. “Class de 2-banme ni Kawaii Onnanoko to Tomodachi ni Natta” is not just a light novel; it’s a celebration of friendship, the beauty of connections, and the joy of discovering hidden treasures in the most unexpected places.
