Kirio Fan Club Drops 2nd Trailer

Another trailer for Kirio Fan Club, the upcoming anime about two love rivals who frequently chat with each other about their shared crush, has been released.

The new look at the show features a mix of silly and serious content, and also features the newly announced ending song “Harmony.” Ako is the ending song artist.

Kirio Fan Club will begin airing on April 2 (effectively April 3 at 12:26 AM JST). It is based on the manga by Chikyuu no Osakana Ponchan. The anime’s description reads:

Dear Kirio-kun, I like you.

But I didn’t know…

That liking someone could be this painful.

I really, really like you, Kirio-kun.

I want to eat hamburgers with you.

I want to share an umbrella with you.

I want to smash plates together with you.

I want to go on a journey searching for every mole on your body.

I want the day I met you to be a national holiday.

Aimi and Nami, sharing their thoughts about the person they love—these are their precious moments together.

They thought these ordinary days would last forever.

But this chain of one-sided feelings is about to change their everyday life.

The Kirio Fan Club manga debuted on Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha’s COMIC Ruelle in 2022 and released its sixth and final volume in September 2024. It has inspired a live-action drama adaptation.
