The Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms anime has received a key visual, as well as a “special visual” that unites its five heroines in a classroom.
The latter is the culmination of a multi-month promotional effort that began with a visual of main female character Mona. The other characters were added to the illustration one-by-one, with the results being shown in their respective character trailers. Kaori Maeda‘s Minami Shirahama is the character who completed the image.
It was also announced that Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms would have a pre-screening and cast talk show on December 7 JST at United Cinema Toyosu, and that the anime will premiere in January 2025. The premiere window was previously revealed by Crunchyroll.
Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms is based on the romantic comedy manga by Ran Kuze, which began serialization in Weekly Shonen Magazine in 2021 and has 16 tankoubon volumes as of October 2024. It was originally a 2020 one-shot.
Kodansha USA describes the first volume as:
Mona is the cutest girl in school, and she knows it. In fact, she’s worked hard to make her high school debut successful. But no matter what she does, she can’t seem to catch the eye of stone-cold stoic Medaka Kuroiwa — but she’s not about to give up that easy. Medaka, on the other hand, has been raised at a temple and was told to never become close to women. Who will win in this heated battle of wills?
