Blossom into love and mark your calendars anime fans. Hana-Kimi, the classic and beloved rom-com story, arriving on Crunchyroll January 4, 2026. The brand new series from studio Signal.MD (Nina the Starry Bride) and led by director Natsuki Takemura (Go! Go! Vehicle Zoo) has also confirmed that famous J-Pop duo, YOASOBI, will be performing both the opening and ending songs for the series. The series will be airing worldwide, excluding Asia.
Japanese-American track-and-field star Mizuki has gotten herself to transfer to a high school in Japan…but not just any school! To be close to her idol, high jumper Izumi Sano, she’s going to an all-guys’ high school…and disguising herself as a boy! But as fate would have it, they’re more than classmates…they’re roommates! Now, Mizuki must keep her secret in the classroom, the locker room, and her own bedroom. And her classmates–and the school nurse–must cope with a new transfer student who may make them question their own orientation…
