The announcement noted that the manga will have a stage panel at the ANImagic<\/a> convention that will unveil the anime’s main cast and first trailer on August 1. (ANImagic takes place at Mannheim, Germany on July 31 to August 2.)<\/p>\n

CyberAgent describes the manga’s story:<\/p>\n

What if everyone were born genderless, who would you fall in love with?<\/p>\n

The highly anticipated TV anime adaptation of Just Like Mona Lisa by Tsumuji Yoshimura, a series that has surpassed a cumulative 1 million copies sold, is finally here.<\/p>\n

Hinase, the main character who continues to live genderless.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Childhood friends Ritsu and Shiori, who have already chosen theirs.<\/p>\n

What is “love”? What does it mean to have something you want to cherish above all else?<\/p>\n

Their classmates and the adults around them struggle and hesitate alongside them, weaving the story together.<\/p>\n

What choice will Hinase make?<\/p>\n

Yoshimura debuted the manga on Square Enix<\/a>‘s Gangan Online<\/a> website in May 2018, and ended<\/a> it in its 10th compiled book volume in December 2022. Square Enix publishes the manga in English digitally through its Manga UP! Global<\/a> website, and in print through Square Enix Manga & Books<\/a>, which published the 10th volume on May 19. The manga is also available<\/a> digitally in BookWalker<\/a>.<\/p>\n
