Horimiya: The Missing Pieces
From July 1.
This is an anime that should delight lovers of romance! This new adaptation of HERO’s eponymous manga adds to a first and recent animated version released during the winter of 2021.
Strong in its originality, the love story of Miyamura and Kyôko won the hearts of a large audience for whom its 13 episodes turned out to be far too short. But good news, our two heroes and their comrades are back in a spin-off!
These little episodes fillers are an opportunity to adapt different chapters of the manga that were left behind in the first anime. We therefore advise you to watch Horimiya, before embarking on this little bonus series for even more touching and romantic moments.

Taken from a manga unpublished in France, The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses follows Kaede Komura, a somewhat shy middle schooler. The boy secretly loves his classmate sitting next to him, Ai Mie.

Reborn as a Vending Machine
From July 5.
Just for its absolutely comical and wacky pitch, this anime must be worth a look! After being killed in a road accident, a young man wakes up near a lake, transformed into… a vending machine!
Impossible for him to move around alone, no way to have a serious conversation, how will he survive in such a fantastic world?
Liar Liar
From July 8.
This series, which bears the same title as a comedy with Jim Carrey (Liar, liar), invites us to participate in a game of wits, lies and deceit! On Academy Island, students compete in games to earn stars, in order to achieve the prestigious title of Seven Stars that unites the school’s elite.
Last year’s defending champion, Sasara is on course to win again until a new student, Hiroto, enters the picture. To everyone’s surprise, he beats her, but in reality, he cheated! He must now continue to bluff to keep his place.
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

What are the 100 things you would like to do before you die? This is the question posed by Akira Tendô, a young asocial a little lost who suddenly regains a taste for life when a zombie apocalypse ravages Japan. Exit his dreary daily life, here he is motivated to realize all his dreams before being transformed into the living dead.
As crazy as it is colorful, this adaptation of Asou Haro’s manga will be your dose of good humor and laughter for this summer. A sci-fi comedy sublimated by the graphic touch of the very young studio BUG FILMS, of which this is the first production. Very promising !
