The main voice cast consists of Sayumi Suzushiro as Suzuki and Shogo Sakata as Tani, and both cast members commented on the series.
Sayumi Suzushiro’s comment:
I am Sayumi Suzushiro, and I’ll be playing the role of Suzuki!
When I auditioned for the role, I remember feeling like I was playing myself because there were too many things I could relate to with Suzuki.
I’m a huge fan of the original manga, so when I got the role, I was over the moon. How important it is to realize how you truly feel, and how difficult it is to understand it, as well as what it means to truly face the other person…I know you can find many things that will serve us in our daily lives in this show!
I will face Tani-kun, who is the polar opposite of Suzuki, sincerely and play Suzuki with care. Thank you!
Shogo Sagkata’s comment:
I am Shogo Sakata, and I will play the role of Tani. I’ve been reading You and I Are Polar Opposites since it started its serialization on Jump+. As a fan, I thought this was such a wonderful series with its pop taste and fresh, youthful dialogues of the teens while striking great balance of incorporating universal struggles that anyone can experience.
I never imagined that I would be involved in such an amazing series, so I was really surprised when I heard that I passed the audition.
I think Tani-kun is the type of person who is not very good at the subtleties of human emotions and completes the world on his own. I hope I can express how he changes through meeting Suzuki-san. Thank you for your support.
Takayoshi Nagatomo is directing the anime at studio Lapin Track with Teruko Utsumi as the series composition writer and animation producer. Miyakomako is designing the characters, Naho Kozono, Sayuri Sakimoto are the chief animation directors and tofubeats is composing the music.
The synopsis of the anime is as follows:
Suzuki’s a high school girl in love, but the guy she’s fallen for is nothing like her! While she’s cheerful, outgoing, and always trying to fit in, her classmate Yusuke Tani is stoic, quiet, and doesn’t seem to care what people think of him. Will Suzuki be able to overcome her anxieties and ask him out, or will she discover that opposites really don’t attract?
You and I Are Polar Opposites was originally published as a one-shot on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ in January 2021, before getting serialized in the same website starting in May 2022. It has been collected into a total of eight volumes as of March 4, 2025.
