Aniplex revealed on their Anime Japan 2022 presentation that the recently announced “Project Engage” anime is finally taking shape as the Engage Kiss romantic comedy anime. A-1 Pictures is animating the series, which will premiere in July 2022.
The anime is set in Baylong City, an artificial island city established in the Pacific Ocean to exploit local natural resources. The story centers on Shū, who runs a small company, though his spending habits have left him constantly penniless. Kisara, who frequently visits Shū’s office, is constantly worried for him.
Kisara attends a high school in Baylong City, and does everything from clerical work to household chores with confidence. Meanwhile, Ayano is Shū’s ex-girlfriend and former work colleague in a company that Shū used to work for.
Fumiaki Maruto, original scenario writer for the visual novel of White Album 2, is writing and supervising the scripts for the anime, and Date A Live and Hyperdimension Neptunia illustrator Tsunako is designing the characters.
