Now That We Draw anime confirmed: A new Rom-Com power duo has arrived

Anime fans who enjoy a good romantic comedy have some good news: Now That We Draw is finally getting its well-deserved anime adaptation. Since this news has been released, shoujo fans have taken over social media as the community is buzzing with excitement. This anime is going to be based on the manga by Kyu Takahata (the writer) and Yuji Kaba (the artist). When the manga was airing, it quickly gained the attention of readers because of its interesting plot and detailed artwork.

Fans and critics have described the story of Now That We Draw as a quirky blend of creativity, awkward romance, and self-discovery. Because of this, the series has been on the radar of the community since its 2024 debut. Now, as the production house has officially released a teaser trailer and the lineup of staff and cast, the monument has also been caught by anime fans. This is a rare phenomenon as they have not yet revealed any information about the release date.

Fans can expect a good quality anime because, looking at the casting, Ayumu Murase as Yuuki Uehara and Sayumi Suzushiro as Niina Miyamoto. It reflects on how the production house has pulled all the stops. In the world of voice acting, Murase is known for his expressive performances, which perfectly suit the character of Yuuki. In this story, he is known to be an insecure yet passionate aspiring mangaka.

Meanwhile, Suzushiro continues her strong streak in the rom-com genre, bringing energy and charm to Niina. Her character in Now That We Draw is a bubbly classmate with artistic ambitions of her own. Looking at the trailer, it seems like their chemistry will likely become the heart of the adaptation, especially given how much of this series relies on comedic timing and exaggerated reactions.

The anime will be directed by ROLL2, and this studio is steadily gaining attention for expressive character animation. Deko Aka will be handling scriptwriting and series composition. She is popular for her work on Komi Can’t Communicate and Arakawa Under the Bridge. When someone with credentials is part of this anime, it shall ensure the story’s humor and emotional beats translate smoothly to the screen.

A rom-com premise built on chaos, creativity, and fake dating

For those who want to know more about the premise of Now That We Draw, the story is about Yuuki Uehara. He is a high schooler who wants to create a perfect romantic heroine, but even after giving his all, things do not seem to work for him. His draft gets rejected and is called out for having no realism. This ends up crushing his self-esteem and leaves him directionless. That is when his life crosses paths with Niina Miyamoto, who is this outgoing classmate who also happens to be an aspiring manga artist.

To add to the coincidence, even she had received a similar criticism. Niina then proposes a classic romantic comedy premise-level bold idea, that both of them should enter a fake relationship. Of course, the reality is far from any rom-com fantasy they’ve written. Niina is nothing like Yuuki’s ideal heroine; Yuuki is certainly not Niina’s imagined protagonist, and their dynamic is chaotic at best.
