It stars (from left to right) Eiji Akaso as Kazuomi Inui, Takumi Kitamura as Rio Yamamoto, Riko Fukumoto as Yuna Ichihara, and Minami Hamabe as Akari Yamamoto.
Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare also received an anime film adaptation directed by Toshimasa Kuroyanagi (Say, “I Love You”, The Great Passage) with Erika Yoshida (Namu Amida Butsu! – Rendai Utena -) penning the scripts. Character design is done by Yuu Yamashita (Bunny Drop) and Yuuji Nomi (Whisper of the Heart, Say, “I Love You”) is in charge of composing the music. The film is produced by A-1 Pictures.
The anime film was supposed to be released last May 29 but has been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. No new release date has been announced for the anime film.
Omoi, Omoware, Furi, Furare is Io Sakisaka’s latest work, which was first published in 2015. The series released its final chapter last April. Anime News Network describes the series’ plot as such:
“The story focuses on two girls whose stances on love are polar opposites. Yuna wants a love that’s like a dream. Akari thinks she can become better at love and is very realistic in her approach. The two heroines’ stories unfold beside two male main characters. Kazuomi doesn’t understand love. He asks, “What’s that, something tasty?” On the other hand, Rio won’t reject anyone who comes his way, as long as that person is cute.”
