Seven Seas Entertainment<\/a> has licensed<\/a> the manga for English release, and it describes the story:It’s the start of a new semester, and high school junior Kuroki finds himself seated beside the girl everyone whispers about: Mai Chihara. With her gothic fashion, jet-black hair, and intense stare, Chihara is said to be a \u201clandmine\u201d girl or jirai-kei, the hyper-feminine, dark aesthetic often associated with yandere tendencies and unstable personalities. But when Kuroki accidentally draws Chihara’s attention, he discovers she isn’t nearly as unstable as people claim. Beneath the intimidating aura is a surprisingly sweet girl\u2026 if a little weird. <\/p>\n

The anime will star Sayumi Suzushiro<\/a> as Mai Chihara, and Kazuki Ura<\/a> as Kuroki. Both cast members are reprising their roles from earlier voice comic adaptations.<\/p>\n
