It’s a challenging art but all five of our leading ladies are determined to become the best they can… and in the meantime, they find themselves hanging out together, both at the Rakugo theater and around town. And they also have a shared acquaintance, a mysterious stranger who’s always wearing a wrestling mask! What’s that about? To find out, pull up a seat and watch as our heroines put on the best show in town in JOSHIRAKU!”

“MY TEEN ROMANTIC COMEDY SNAFU” ENGLISH DUB PREMIERES ON HIDIVE

Here. We. Go!

We don’t care if you write the following on a sticky note or set a calendar reminder on your phone. Do whatever you need to do to remember that the ENGLISH dub of the My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU saga starts Thursday, October 24, 2019, at 16:30 UTC. Even better, you’re getting TWO dubbed episodes per week!

Our fellow problem solvers over at Sentai Filmworks have this to say about the series:

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU

“When the loner Hachiman Hikigaya is coerced into joining the “Services Club” run by the smart, attractive, and stuck up Yukino Yukinoshita, it’s a recipe for disaster! But we haven’t yet added the third caustic ingredient! Bright and cheery Yui Yuigahama needs the Service Club’s help to bake cookies. It could be a recipe for romance. It could just as easily end in a nuclear meltdown! Get ready for romantic comedy gone totally wrong as the barrage à trois of the Service Club is unleashed!”

My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!

“A new season brings a whole new set of challenges for Yukino, Yui and Hachiman. As the Service Club steps back into high gear, the club returns to their mission of helping the student body with their problems. Except they’ve got their own issues. What exactly awaits the three friends this coming year? Find out in My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU TOO!”
