shallm Perform Opening Theme Song for 'Now That We Draw' Anime
Vocalist lia's band wrote song for anime
The official website for the television anime of Kyū Takahata and Yūji Kaba's Now That We Draw (Kakunaru Ue wa) manga announced on Thursday that vocalist lia's band shallm will perform the opening theme song "Kimiiro Hikari" (The Light of Your Color), specifically written for this anime.
The anime will premiere in January 2027.
Ayumu Murase and Sayumi Suzushiro will star as Yūki Uehara and Niina Miyamoto, respectively:
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga, and it describes the story:
Dweeby high schooler Yūki Uehara has created the perfect romantic comedy heroine—she's bashful, airheaded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara's dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as trite and lacking realism, it sends Uehara into a spiral of despair that pushes him into the path of his bubbly, gorgeous classmate, Niina Miyamoto—an aspiring manga artist herself! Having gotten similar feedback on her own manga, Miyamoto proposes she and Uehara engage in a fake relationship, since neither of them have any romantic experience. But Miyamoto is far from the perfect heroine Uehara's concocted, and he certainly isn't the cocky hero from her story either. Can their wacky relationship turn their manga dreams into reality, or will it lead to even more comic disasters?
