Mayu Murata’s Honey Lemon Soda is getting a TV anime adaptation. A teaser visual and the staff information have been released. Studio J.C. Staff is animating the series under Hiroshi Nishikiori’s direction. Akiko Waba is on the series composition while Aimi Tanaka is designing the characters and Akira Kosemura is composing the music.
Honey Lemon Soda manga has been serialized in Shueisha’s shojo manga magazine Ribon since December 2015 and it currently has 24 volumes in circulation. The manga inspired a live-action film adaptation in July 2021. Yen Press licenses the manga in English and they describe the plot as:
Middle school left Uka Ishimori with nothing but scars—to the point where she’s forgotten how to laugh or cry or even say “hello.” But a chance reencounter with a boy with lemon-colored hair invigorates her, giving her hope that maybe, just maybe, life can be that much sweeter if she finally reaches out for help.
