Shonen Jump+ Series "Kindergarten WARS" Gets TV Anime Adaptation! Atsumi Tanezaki to Voice Rita, Kentaro Kumagai as Doug—Celebratory Comments and Illustration Released

It has been announced that the manga "Kindergarten WARS," currently being serialized on "Shonen Jump+" (Shueisha), will receive a TV anime adaptation. Atsumi Tanezaki will play the role of Rita, and Kentaro Kumagai will play the role of Doug. Additionally, a celebratory comment and illustration from the original author, You Chiba, have been released.

This work is based on the manga "Kindergarten WARS" by You Chiba, currently serialized in "Shonen Jump+" (Shueisha). Rita works at Black Kindergarten, where the children of the world’s most influential figures attend. Although she is looking for a boyfriend, she hasn’t had any romantic encounters—until she gets tangled up with an ultra-handsome hitman targeting the children. Thus begins the world’s “safest” action-romantic comedy.

The released illustration features Rita and Doug. Author Chiba exploded with joy, saying, “The anime adaptation! I can finally say it! I’m so happy!” and expressed gratitude to the fans.

Atsumi Tanezaki, who will play Rita, shared an enthusiastic comment: “I’ll do my absolute best to make this the most entertaining anime ever! I can’t wait to meet lots of handsome guys!” Kentaro Kumagai, who will play Doug, also expressed his excitement, mentioning the unique teachers and dynamic action: “I can’t wait to see what it’ll look like animated! I’ll do my utmost!”
