The anime studio Kyoto Animation (KyoAni) confirmed on Wednesday that an anime adaptation is in the works for the first volume of Tora Tora's Chūni-byō Demo Koi Shitai! (I Have Adolescent Delusions, But I Want to Love!) romance novel, and the novel's website began streaming a teaser video. The novel was one of the honorable mention recipients in the Novel category of the first Kyoto Animation Award program last year; no grand prizes were given in any category. The comedian Hikaru Ijūin coined the term "chūni-byō" (literally, "middle-school second-grade disease") for adolescent thoughts that teenagers commonly have — especially delusions of grandeur or the belief that one is special compared to everyone else. In the novel, Yuuta Togashi suffered from chuunibyou while he was in middle school. When he graduated, he put that dark history behind him and forgot about it... or he was supposed to. High school was smooth sailing and full of enjoyment - until an unavoidable sad event occurs. Yuuta is locked into a contract with Rikka Takanashi and his ordinary life will never be the same. Kyoto Animation itself is publishing the novel with illustrations by studio animator Nozomi Ousaka. link to original ANN article reflecting volume two content not being animated
