The well-known television producer Nobuyuki Sakuma will take on a voice role in the upcoming anime series "Seihantai na Kimi to Boku" (English title: You and I Are Polar Opposites). He will voice the homeroom teacher of the main characters.

The announcement was accompanied by an interview video in which Sakuma speaks about his connection to the project. In it, he expresses his enthusiasm for the original work and shares impressions from the voice recording sessions.

The anime series is an adaptation of the manga of the same name by Kōcha Agasawa, which began as a one-shot and was later serialized on Shueisha's platform Shōnen Jump+ from May 2022 to November 2024. The total circulation exceeds 1.6 million copies sold.

The plot is a romantic comedy that tells the story of high school students Miyu Suzuki and Yūsuke Tani. Suzuki is an energetic but often insecure girl who strongly aligns herself with the expectations of others. Tani, on the other hand, is a quiet and direct boy who always speaks his honest mind. Despite their opposite natures, both secretly develop feelings for each other, leading to a hesitant approach.

The anime production is being handled by Studio Lapin Track under the direction of Takakazu Nagatomo. Internationally, the series will be streamed by Crunchyroll with a simultaneous English dub.

Nobuyuki Sakuma works primarily as a television producer and has worked on formats such as "The God Tongue." Furthermore, he is active as a radio host. His involvement in this anime project represents a special expansion of his professional portfolio. In past interviews, Sakuma has emphasized his lifelong fascination with film and pop culture, which was shaped in his youth by limited access in his home region.

The series "You and I Are Polar Opposites" launches with its first episode.
