The 10th volume is scheduled to be released in Japan on July 1, 2026.

He\u2019s always been a loner, and he knows this year isn\u2019t going to be any different. As expected, Maehara sees no change even six months in\u2026until he runs into his classmate Umi Asanagi at a video store! Always at the center of attention and ranked the second-prettiest girl in class by the boys, Asanagi\u2019s from a totally different world. But it turns out the two have some things in common, and not just the B movies they came to rent. When they become friends in secret, Maehara discovers his days are about to get a little more colorful!<\/span><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000; text-decoration: underline;\">Staff:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> <b>\u2022 <\/b>Director:<\/span><b> Hideki Tachibana<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> [Season 2 onwards])<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Series composer: <\/span><b>Keiichiro Ochi<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Summer Pockets<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Script<\/a>writer: Keiichiro Ochi<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Character designer: <\/span><b>Shoko Takimoto<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Many Sides of Voice Actor Radio<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2022 Animation production: <\/span><b>CONNECT<\/b><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Sources: <\/strong><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 16px; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/kuranika.asmik-ace.co.jp\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Official website<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/2ndinclass\">official X\/Twitter<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n                (function(d, s, id) {\n          var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n          if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n          js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n          js.src=\"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.9&appId=269442613521839\";\n          fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n        }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n        <\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
