A key visual for the Now That We Draw (Kakunaru Ue wa) TV anime has been released. It depicts main characters and aspiring manga artists Yuki Uehara and Nina Miyamoto.
A teaser trailer and teaser visual were revealed last November with the anime’s announcement.
Now That We Draw adapts the manga written by Kyu Takahata and drawn by Yuwji Kaba. Seven Seas Entertainment’s synopsis for the manga reads:
Opposites attract in this hysterical rom-com about two high school manga artists who can’t catch a break!
Dweeby high schooler Uehara Yuuki has created the perfect romantic comedy heroine—she’s bashful, airheaded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara’s dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as trite and lacking realism, it sends Uehara into a spiral of despair that pushes him into the path of his bubbly, gorgeous classmate, Miyamoto Niina—an aspiring manga artist herself!
Having gotten the similar feedback on her own manga, Miyamoto proposes she and Uehara engage in a fake relationship, since neither of them has any romantic experience. But Miyamoto is far from the perfect heroine Uehara’s concocted, and he certainly isn’t the cocky hero from her story either. Can their wacky relationship turn their manga dreams into reality, or will it lead to even more comic disasters?
The Now That We Draw manga is serialized in Hakusensha’s seinen magazine Young Animal and will release its seventh volume on April 28 (JST). It debuted in April 2023.
