Official accounts have announced an upcoming TV anime adaptation of Misaki Takamatsu's slice of life manga Skip and Loafer. The anime will be produced by studio P.A. Works under the direction of Kotomi Deai (who directed the anime for Natsume's Book of Friends).
The release date for the Skip and Loafer anime has not been revealed as of writing.
Below is a 30-second teaser to announce the anime project.
The series stars Mitsumi Iwakura (CV: Tomoyo Kurosawa) who is about to attend a prestigious high school in Tokyo. While she is a serious student with big dreams of going to law school, things don't go as planned as early as her first day. And it takes another turn for the unexpected when she meets fellow first-year student Shousuke Shima (CV: Akinori Egoshi), who is also running late to their first day.
Skip and Loafer (Japanese: スキップとローファー, Romaji: Sukippu to Rōfā) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Misaki Takamatsu. It has been serialized in Kodansha's Monthly Afternoon since August 2018. The official English translation is licensed by Seven Seas Entertainment.
