Romantic comedies are one of the most beloved genres around the world; however, Japan has a knack for making these stories not just relatable to everyone but also a younger audience. Yuki Yaku's Bottom-Tier Character Tomokazi is an excellent example of a relatable romantic comedy.
The series follows a gamer who finds that life is the worst game of all; however, after meeting a young girl, she forces him to see that the game of life is what he makes of it. From there, love blossoms, and things change drastically for the main character. Released in 2016, the series has enjoyed ten volumes, with more chapters being published in Shogakukan's GaGaGa Bunko imprint.
A recent reveal confirmed that the series would have an anime adaption that will be directed by Shinsuke Yanagi. A new key visual for the anime was also released with a confirmed premiere date in 2021.
Not much is yet known about the show, let alone any footage, but stay tuned for more news in the future! We would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below!
