With a trailer that leaves little to the imagination (but plenty of hype), “Kanojo ga Separate o Matou Riyuu” is set to premiere on July 4 as part of AnimeFesta’s spicy catalog. What has caught the most attention, besides its obvious visual proposal, is that it is the first title under the ITONAMI label, a new subdivision of the already known Suiseisha. Yes, that means things are coming with a new flavor… and maybe new traumas.
Although the animation studio has not been officially confirmed, the most obsessive fans (you know who you are) assure that the style is very reminiscent of what the Seven team has done in the past. And no, it’s not Queen Bee, so breathe easy.
A high school girl too frustrated… and a landlord too observant
Amane Kojou is a top-level athlete, with legs for running and patience to endure a boyfriend purer than holy water. The girl can’t take it anymore with the chaste kisses and the “we’ll see,” so between sports practices and lonely nights in her apartment, she seeks relief as she can.
But as if fate had subscribed to her private channel, her landlord—a man who seems to have too much free time—discovers her nightly secret and decides it’s time to “negotiate.”
What follows is a story that mixes desire, frustration, emotional pressure, and a protagonist who begins to question if her body is more confused than her heart.
Synopsis of “Kanojo ga Separate o Matou Riyuu”:
Amane Kojou, a young virgin, feels frustrated with her boyfriend, who only limits himself to kissing her. Although she tries to channel her energy into the activities of the athletics club, her strong desire keeps her in a constant state of restlessness. Additionally, her sports uniform does not go unnoticed by her landlord, a mature man who is obsessed with her figure. While she indulges in her own fantasies every night, he secretly records her. In exchange for deleting those videos, he demands something more physical from her. Although it all starts as something unwanted, Amane’s body begins to desire what her mind rejects. What direction will this forced relationship take?
