The Fall anime season is coming real soon, and with that comes more releases of new teaser trailers! The next one on the list is upcoming fall season anime TONIKAWA: Over the Moon for You (original title: Tonikaku Kawaii or literally, Generally Cute), with a new trailer released just this weekend. For international fans, Crunchyroll’s got us covered as they also released an English-subtitled version of the new trailer. Check it out here!

Main cast member Akari Kito, who plays female lead Tsukasa, will be performing the series’ opening theme song Koi no Uta (Song of Love) as her character. On the other hand, the ending theme song Tsuki to Hoshizora (The Moon and the Starry Sky) will be sung singer-songwriter KanoeRana.
Junya Enoki (Takezo Kurata in Kono Oto Tomare: Sounds of Life) stars opposite Kito as male lead Nasa. The series is set for an October 2 premiere.
The series will be directed by Hiroshi Ikehata (Seton Academy: Welcome to the Pack), with Kazuho Hyodo (Kiratto Pri☆Chan) writing the series’ scripts. Character design will be done Masakatsu Sasaki (We Never Learn: BOKUBEN), with Goichi Iwahata in charge with props designs. Sound direction will be done by Satoshi Motoyama and “Endo” will be composing the music.
Anime News Network describes Fly Me to the Moon’s story as such:
“The comedy follows a boy named Nasa who meets a “generally cute” girl named Tsukasa on the day of his high school entrance exams, and immediately falls in love with her. Nasa confesses his feelings, but her response is that she will only go out with him if they get married. Years later, on Nasa’s 18th birthday, she suddenly appears to get married. Thus begins Nasa’s newlywed lifestyle.”
Author Kenjiro Hata is known to most anime fans as the creator of Hayate the Combat Butler, which ran from 2004 to 2017 and also received a TV anime adaptation that lasted for four seasons in 2007, 2009, 2012, and 2013.
Hata’s Fly Me to the Moon manga was launched last February 2018 in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday. Two days before the release of the manga, author Hata himself confirmed his marriage to his Seiyu’s Life manga story collaborator, voice actress Masumi Asano.
