Murai in Love (TV) Source: Manga (completed @ 7 volumes, by Junta Shima) Demographic: Shoujo Animation Studio: J.C. Staff Genres: comedy, romance Themes: otaku, school Plot Summary: Murai is an unassuming high school boy who confesses his love for the teacher Tanaka, a woman who is a fan of otome games for girls. When Tanaka curtly refuses Murai's advances, Murai returns the next day a changed man: new hair, new style, all emulating Tanaka's favorite character from an otome game. Now Murai sets out on his quest to be Tanaka's dream man. Air Date & Platform: September 4, 2024 (Wednesday) Available on: Hulu Episode Count / Runtime: Pending ---------------------------------- I've seen it listed as an ONA and TV series, so I'm not really sure which is the official label. But it's streaming on Disney+ outside the U.S. and on Hulu in the U.S., but set to also broadcast on TV in Japan in October. ANN's Encyc. has it listed as a TV series, so I just went with that. J.C. Staff has put forth some pretty good rom-coms lately, so I might eventually check this out. |

I was a bit hesitant on this one due to the teacher-student thing, but after 3 episodes now, I'm sold. It's so off-the-wall, I can't take that plot aspect seriously enough to be mad at it. And so far the teacher is doing her damnedest to be the adult in the room, though the struggle is real. And Murai's got a couple of great wingmen.
I really don't know how to describe this, except to say it's pretty surreal, in the art style(s), which is all over the map, the plot shenanigans, the characters, and the satirical humor. It's definitely keeping me on my toes. |

I think it's a motion manga as what I'd rate so far: Story B, Performances A+, Production: B+, Animation: Nonexistent.
It's an easy show to like but a tough show to watch. |
