The romantic comedy Osamake: Romcom Where The Childhood Friend Won't Lose has arrived on Crunchyroll, complete with English dub and subtitles. The 12-episode series, animated by Doga Kobo, centers on Sueharu Maru, a high schooler grappling with rejection from his childhood friend, Kuroha Shida, as he pursues his true love, the popular idol Shirokusa Kachi.
What sets Osamake apart is its central premise: Sueharu believes he has a chance with Kachi, but Kuroha, determined to win him over, orchestrates a complex plan involving a fake relationship. This sets the stage for a chaotic love triangle where Sueharu finds himself caught between his idolized crush and his persistent childhood friend, leading to plenty of comedic misunderstandings and dramatic twists.
Produced by Doga Kobo, known for slice-of-life comedies like New Game! and Himouto! Umaru-chan, the anime adaptation of Yūichi Katō's manga delivers a familiar yet engaging take on the romcom genre. Viewers looking for a completed series packed with school-day antics and romantic rivalry can now stream the entire run.
