Regarding the upcoming animated series "Cultural Exchange with Game Center Girl" (jap. Gesenshōjo to Ibunka Kōryū), based on the original work by Hirokazu Yasuhara, new promotional materials as well as insights into the plot have been released. The story revolves around 18-year-old Renji Kusakabe, who works at a game center, and 13-year-old British exchange student Lily Baker. Their first encounter on Valentine's Day leads to a series of humorous misunderstandings when Lily mistakenly interprets Renji's helpfulness at the claw machine as romantic interest and hands him a card with the words "Be My Valentine!" The series thrives on everyday comedy, cultural differences, and Lily's linguistic blunders, while Renji's gaming expertise repeatedly creates new situations.

To promote the series, a short promotional video has been released. Additionally, there is a music video for the ending song "Amusing Flavor," sung by Sally Amaki in her role as Lily, which shows Lily's attempts to master various arcade machines, accompanied by dancing figures from the game center. A new key visual depicts Lily in front of a claw machine and Renji behind the counter, highlighting the unusual encounter between the two main characters.
