Rainy Day Serenade anime revealed a key visual and teaser trailer on Friday, featuring the main cast. An April 2027 release date and the main staff were also announced.
Yume Miyamoto stars in the series as Hina Katagiri alongside Takeo Otsuka who voices Takaaki Hongo. Tezuka Production is animating the series with Takashi Kamei as director. Yoko Yonaiyama is handling the series composition and Nobuteru Yuki is in charge of character designs.
The anime is based on a manga series written and illustrated by Haruka Kawachi, which was serialized in Kodansha’s josei manga magazine Kiss from November 2014 to November 2025. It has a total of 14 volumes. Kodansha USA is licensing the series in English as a 2-in-1 omnibus, with the first omnibus set to be released in January 2027. They describe it as:
On rainy days, Hina has dreams about her younger self playing with a mysterious boy in a garden she’s never seen before—until, by chance, she stumbles upon the place. There’s a young man there, Takaaki, who mistakes Hina for his fiancée Hinako. He whisks her back to what he thinks is her home, where Hina’s doppelganger is waiting, and Hina realizes this isn’t the Tokyo she left behind but Japan in the year 1907! Is this all a dream or something much stranger?
