The light novel "The Pure and Beautiful Girl at My New School Turns Out to be My Childhood Friend Who I Used to Play With, Thinking She Was a Boy" (abbreviated as "Tenbin" / published by KADOKAWA), which was in the process of being adapted into an anime, has been decided to be made into a TV anime in 2026, and a teaser visual and teaser PV have been unveiled.

It was also announced that Hasegawa Ikumi will play the main character, Nikaido Haruki.

The story is a youthful love comedy that begins when Kirishima Hayato, who transfers from the countryside to a high school in the city, reunites with his childhood friend and former "male friend," Nikaido Haruki.

The full comments from those involved with the original work and a celebratory illustration are below.

Is there a good real-life location for the background of the teaser visual?
When the idea came up, I immediately sent a photo of this place.
When I first started writing Tenbin, I was writing about rural landscapes, and I thought this photo of a rural area in Nara would fit the image perfectly. (There aren't actually any sunflowers in bloom, though...)
It's really moving to see it used as the teaser visual!
This work is packed with so much I love. I'm looking forward to it airing. Meow!
