‘Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!’ (Go For It, Nakamura!) by Syundei follows Nakamura Okuto, a shy high school boy, who finds himself overwhelmed by unfamiliar feelings when his classmate, Hirose Aki, suddenly appears in his life. Though they’re not friends yet, Okuto’s heart races uncontrollably whenever he sees Hirose. With a nostalgic 80s-90s vibe and art style, the series depicts the funny delusions and antics of Nakamura as he navigates his unrequited love for Hirose.
The official account has unveiled the main visual poster of the anime adaptation, paying homage to the popular cover of the original manga source. The poster shows a vibrant and colorful anime-style illustration, with Nakamura in the center and the other characters surrounding him.
