A brief about Murai in Love
Murai in Love is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Junta Shima. It was serialized in Line Corporation's Line Manga website from June 2018 to June 2022, with its chapters collected into seven tankōbon volumes. A television drama adaptation aired from April to May 2022.
Murai in Love anime follows the titular character, Murai, an unassuming high school boy who confesses his love for the teacher Tanaka, a woman who is a fan of otome games for girls. When Tanaka curtly refuses Murai's advances, Murai returns the next day a changed man: new hair, new style, all emulating Tanaka's favorite character from an otome game. Now Murai sets out on his quest to be Tanaka's dream man. As such, the anime follows an unusual rom-com story between Murai and Tanaka.
Based on the manga by Junta Shima, Global Bookwalker describes the stroy as follows:
"Murai is madly in love with his teacher, Tanaka.
One day he dares to tell her that he wants to marry her, but of course, her answer was “No.”
Tanaka only loves Hitotose, a ninja boy character in her favorite otome game. But she didn’t know that Murai looks so alike to Hitotose until Murai cuts his hair and dyes it blond.
Now Tanaka must stay calm in front of her BIAS.
Murai finds out about Hitotose, but he wants her to see him as himself, not some ninja boy…
Cute and funny comedy about high-school boys, girls and teachers in Japanese high school!"
