Kana Hanazawa has previously performed theme songs for shows she’s voiced in, such as Ichika in The Quintessential Quintuplets, but always as an ensemble rather than a solo artist.

Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible is being directed by Kazuomi Koga (Rent-a-Girlfriend) at studio PINE JAM (Kageki Shojo!!), with series composition by Yuya Takahashi (Selection Project) and character designs by Yoshiko Saito (Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation animation director). The series premieres in January 2023.

 

Shueisha publishes the manga’s official English and Spanish versions on MANGA Plus, describing the series as such:

 

First year high schooler Junta Shiraishi is a mob character who goes unnoticed even when he’s standing right next to you. But his classmate, “heroine-level beauty” Kubo, always notices him and is there to tease him. Anyone can become special to someone, but it might be a little too early to call these feelings “love.” Perhaps this story is still two-steps from being a romantic comedy–let’s call it a sweet comedy where a background character becomes visible!
