The TV anime adaptation of Kokone Nata’s Play it Cool, Guys slice-of-life manga has revealed a key visual, the official trailer, and eight additional cast members. The anime series is set to premiere on October 10.
The trailer highlights the encounters of the four ‘cool’ guys; Hayate, Shun, Takayuki, and Sōma who look like they got that unapproachable swag. But the fact is they’re just a bunch of dorks who’ve got the act down pat! The video also announces and previews the opening song “Ticket to Youth” (青春切符) sung by Mafumafu.
Eight additional cast members have been announced. Shun’s older sister Asami Futami will be played by Satomi Sato, Soma’s older brother Sota Shiki will be played by Kazuyuki Okitsu, Hayate’s friend Kurosaki will be played by Taku Yashiro, Shun’s friend Akai will be played by Kengo Takanashi, and Koda will be played by Seiichiro Yamashita.
