Love Flops

Aired: 2022

An original TV anime produced by Passione, created by Love Flops Project. It aired for 12 episodes from October to December 2022. Ordinary high school boy Asahi Kashiwagi hears lucky words on a TV fortune-telling segment one morning. On his way to school, he encounters five girls of different nationalities, appearances, and personalities exactly matching the lucky words—Aoi Izumisawa, Amelia Irving, Ilya Ilyukhin, Bai Mongfa, and Karin Istel—and gets caught up in romantic complications. While appearing to be a harem romantic comedy on the surface, the story takes a shocking turn when it is revealed that the world Asahi has been living in is actually a virtual reality, and all the heroines are AIs. The model for these AIs was Ai, Asahi's childhood friend who passed away from illness. Main cast includes Ryota Osaka as Asahi, Miku Ito as Aoi, Ayana Taketatsu as Amelia, Rie Takahashi as Ilya, Hisako Kanemoto as Bai Mongfa, and Marika Takano as Karin. Directed by Nobuyoshi Nagayama, screenplay by Ryo Yasumoto, music by Kenichiro Suehiro. ©LOVE FLOPS PARTNERS
