Takae Nijima is coming back from the dead as If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student finally gets an October release date.
This fall, Takae is determined to return to her family, even if it means returning as an elementary school student!
If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student Arrives in October
If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student gets an October release date, as confirmed in a new teaser promotional video posted on the official YouTube channel of Studio Pierrot.
The official website of the anime adaptation of Yayu Murata’s manga of the same name also revealed additional staff and its main cast.
The main cast includes Daisuke Hirakawa (Enmu in Demon Slayer) as Keisuke Nijima, Aoi Yuki (Maomao in The Apothecary Diaries) as Takae Nijima/Marika Shiraishi, and Maiko Nomura (Hiromi Izumi in Okko’s Inn) as Mai Nijima.
Meanwhile, the anime's additional staff includes sound director Keiichiro Miyoshi (Inazuma Eleven: Ares no Tenbin, Tweeny Witches: The Adventures) and music composer Hiroko Yamasaki (Oblivion Battery).
Exact Release Date Predictions
While the new teaser promotional video confirms the October premiere of the anime, there’s no word yet on its exact release date.
Based on previous releases, new shows drop their debut episode either in the first or second week of the new season.
If that's the case, the exact release date for the anime might be between October 1 and 6, or October 7 and 13, assuming no production or broadcast delays.
Hopefully, with the amount of new information that this upcoming drama and comedy anime has revealed up to this point, it will announce its actual release date sooner than expected.
Exploring the Story of If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student
Recommending this anime to someone would be a struggle because of its outrageous title, which could suggest it’s a controversial or inappropriate show.
However, based on manga reviews, the upcoming fall anime is exactly the opposite due to its emotional examination of grief, loss, and denial.
If My Wife Becomes an Elementary School Student will follow the Nijima family, who lost the light of their home after Takae Nijima died, leaving Keisuke and his daughter Mai alone.
A decade later, Keisuke and Mai were astonished to find an elementary school student claiming to be Takae!
