HIDIVE has announced that they've acquired the exclusive rights for Kadokawa's new original TV anime project titled, Renai Flops (Love Flops), and will be streaming the series this Fall.
HIDIVE describes the story as:
Asahi Kashiwagi lives the typical life of an average high school student — until the day a TV fortune teller’s predictions come true one after another, culminating in a series of risqué encounters! Destiny seemingly draws five beautiful girls into Asahi’s path, and soon he finds himself fielding not one, not two, but five love confessions. Asahi will need to follow his heart to find the perfect love for him, or else his love fortunes may end in one epic flail and flop.
The opening theme song titled, "Love? Reason why!!" will be performed by Konomi Suzuki.
The five voice actresses for the anime's heroines will be performing the ending theme song titled, "Flop Around." The voice actresses include Miku Itō, Ayana Taketatsu, Rie Takahashi, Hisako Kanemoto, and Marika Kōno.
Love Flops is set to premiere on October 12, 2022 on AT-X, TOKYO-MX, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV and BS 11.
The anime centers on Asahi Kashiwagi, a student who one morning runs into a series of unusual accidents on one morning on the way to school — all in accordance with a vague television fortune he watched that morning, and all culminating with an unfortunate encounter with a girl. Coincidentally, all the girls he meets are new students or teachers at his school. Asahi's prior knowledge of the girls earns him the suspicion of Yoshio, a self-proclaimed "friend of Asahi." After school, he finds a love letter in his shoe locker, telling him to come to the cherry blossom tree behind school, again according to his morning fortune. Asahi heads to the cherry blossom tree to see what awaits him.
Love Flops is set to premiere on October 12, 2022 on AT-X, TOKYO-MX, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV and BS 11.
