Following the preview video earlier in the week, there is now a TV ad for the summer anime adaptation of Io Sakisaka’s shoujo manga Ao Haru Ride. Scheduled for July, Ai Yoshimura (My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU, Daily Lives of High School Boys storyboard artist and episode director) will helm the anime from Production I.G with Tomoko Konparu (Kimi ni Todoke) on composition.
The premise concerns a high school girl, reunited with the one boy she felt comfortable around in middle school, except now he has a new name due to his parents’ divorce and a different personality.
