Way back in 2021, Seven Seas Entertainment announced the license acquisition of the manga Go for It Again, Nakamura! by Syundei. Known originally as Motto Ganbare! Nakamura-kun!!, it was serialized in Opera magazine and was compiled as a single-volume release back in 2017. Crunchyroll previously announced its pickup of it with it streaming to viewers in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS.
The series was originally slated for a summer 2025 debut but was pushed back to an April 1st, 2026, premiere date. With that underway, the production has updated with another two more cast members who will debut in the upcoming eighth episode with Kensho Ono as Ko Matsumura and Kenta Miyake as Nogu Todoroki.

Plot Concept: It was love at first sight when Nakamura met his classmate, Hirose. The two became friends after the shy and awkward Nakamura finally worked up the nerve to speak to him, but being buddy-buddy with your crush is a whole new kind of torture! And as he watches some other guy cuddle up with Hirose like casual bros, Nakamura tries to keep his head from exploding. Why can’t that be him?! Enjoy the hilarious new misadventures of Nakamura desperately trying to keep it together and not scare Hirose off. Hang in there, Nakamura!
