Fake Slackers

According jjwxc’s website, Danmei novel ‘”Fake Slackers” by Mu Gua Huang has sold its rights for non-mainland TV series and web drama adaptation.

Synopsis-

After class placements were decided, the school’s two infamous ‘problem youths’ not only shared the same class, but the same desk.

They’re clearly good at studies, but pretend to be slackers. Fakers from head to toe who just keep walking farther down the path of their performance.

Heard through the grapevine about the two big brothers who always fight over the last place in class.

Basically, this is a serious comedy. About the little matters of growing up.

Twilight Out of Focus

Possibly the most anticipated anime release in 2024, “Twilight Out of Focus” releases second key visual poster and official poster ahead of its premiere on July 4th. Adapted from Jyanome’s BL manga of the same name, it focuses on second-year students Mao Tsuchiya & Hisashi Ohtomo, who navigate a delicate balance of secrecy in their dorm life.

Synopsis-

In front of a camera, roommates Mao Tsuchiya and Hisashi Ootomo make three promises: Mao must not tell anyone Hisashi is gay and in a relationship with another man; Hisashi must never fall in love or make any advances on Mao; and one must not disturb the other’s “personal time.” Thus begins their second year of cohabitation.

However, everything starts to crumble when the film club—of which Mao is a member—wants to cast Hisashi in the lead role for their upcoming movie. The problem arises with the movie’s plot, as it is about boys’ love—a romance between a delinquent and the class president. Mao is adamant to dissuade Hisashi from becoming the protagonist due to their first promise; but, to his surprise, Hisashi is easily convinced by the director.

After imagining Hisashi as the delinquent he is playing, Mao becomes overly conscious of his presence. He knows Hisashi is just a friend and out of his reach, but Mao cannot keep lying to himself anymore—his feelings toward his roommate may no longer be purely platonic.
