KADOKAWA has released a new trailer for the anime adaptation of Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love (Isshiki-san wa Koi wo Shiritai). The promotional video highlights the participation of cosplayer and singer Enako, who performs the series' opening theme, bringing a vibrant tone to the romantic comedy.
Enako's Participation and Trailer Details
The new promotional material focuses on the contrast between Meiko Isshiki's serious police work and her complete confusion in the face of basic romantic interactions. The detective, who is capable of solving cases impossible for her veteran colleagues, short-circuits when it comes to matters of the heart.
Enako's presence in the trailer is one of the highlights of the release. The artist, widely recognized in Japanese pop culture, lends her vocals to the theme song, reinforcing the production company's investment in making the title one of the season's standouts. The trailer also features dialogue snippets showing the dynamic between Isshiki and her subordinates, who often end up serving as involuntary relationship consultants.
Premise and Production
The story follows Meiko Isshiki, a police inspector considered a true prodigy. Despite her above-average intelligence for criminal investigations and field tactics, she finds herself in comedic situations while trying to decipher her own feelings. The anime adapts the original manga by Takuma Yokota, an author known for mixing everyday humor and romance in a light and charismatic way.
According to information released by KADOKAWA, the animation seeks to remain faithful to the original material's art style while adding layers of expressiveness that only the audiovisual format allows. The series promises to be a refreshing option for those who enjoy stories where the main characters are adults in serious professions, but maintain a fun innocence in their personal lives.
More about Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love
The Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love manga began its publication in Shonen Magazine Edge and won over the public by how it humanizes authority figures. The animation project is being developed with a focus on the visual quality of the investigation scenes, which intentionally contrast with the slice-of-life and romantic comedy moments. Although additional details about the total number of episodes have not yet been confirmed, the expectation is that the work will follow the pace of the original publications.
