The Clueless Transfer Student Is Assertive

Aired: 2023

A heartwarming school comedy based on the popular manga by Taku Kawamura that originated on Twitter. Akane Nishimura, a fifth-grade elementary student, has been unfairly bullied by her classmates and given the cruel nickname 'Shinigami' (Death God). Then transfer student Taiyou Takada arrives. Completely oblivious to the class dynamics, Taiyou approaches Akane with his innate cheerfulness and boundless positivity — even delighting in her 'Shinigami' nickname, calling it 'cool.' As Akane gradually opens her heart to Taiyou's guileless kindness, viewers are left with a warm glow. The opening theme, 'Alcor to Polaris' by Kondo Reina, with its refreshing melody, and the ending, 'Kokorone' by Kitri, with its soft resonance, gently embrace the pure connection between the two.
