The TV anime "Saijo no Osewa: Takane no Hanadarake na Meimonkou de, Gakuin Ichi no Ojousama (Seikatsu Nouryoku Kaimu) wo Kagenagara Osewa suru Koto ni Narimashita" (short: "Saijo no Osewa") has received a second promotional clip. The approximately 90-second video offers new insights into the romantic comedy and showcases, among other things, the "gap moe" moments of the protagonist Hinako Konohana, who presents herself as the perfect young lady in front of her classmates but shows her clumsy side to her caretaker Itsuki. The other students of the elite academy, including the proud Birei and the gentle Naruka, also shine in the clip.
Also heard for the first time is the ending theme "Kanpeki Janai Watashi" ("I'm Not Perfect"), sung by Ami Maeshima, who also voices the role of Karen Asahi in the anime. Maeshima had previously announced that she wrote the lyrics herself. The opening theme "Sai Sai Saikokyu no Osewa Shite" is, as previously known, contributed by the J-Pop duo angela.
The expanded voice cast now includes Kentaro Kumagai, who takes on the role of Katsuya Taisho. Taisho is a casual and friendly classmate of Itsuki and Hinako, who welcomes the newly arrived Itsuki without reservation. Kumagai commented: "The charms of the story lie in the facets of the heroines that only Itsuki gets to see. You can easily empathize with Itsuki, who is swept up by the quirky girls and the people around them. Everyone is simply wonderful—and cute!" In portraying Taisho, he said he focused on creating a down-to-earth, athletic, and kind-hearted character who still maintains a certain nobility.
