Another light novel is making its way to the screen — and this one’s all about popularity, love, and high school drama. Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle (Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka) is officially getting an anime adaptation, and it’s set to premiere in October 2025!
The story follows Chitose Saku, a charismatic and seemingly perfect high school student who’s often labeled the “Playboy of Class 5.” But when he receives a strange message that forces him to reflect on who he really is beneath the surface, his world begins to change. The anime promises to explore themes of popularity, self-identity, and the pressures of living up to other people’s expectations — all wrapped in high school life with a dash of romance.
Studio & Staff
The anime will be produced by Studio feel., known for their solid work on titles like The Yakuza’s Guide to Babysitting, Spy Classroom, and My Teen Romantic Comedy SNAFU Climax! Their experience with both emotional depth and school-life stories makes them a perfect fit for this adaptation.
On the production committee side, KADOKAWA will be backing the series. KADOKAWA is a major player in the industry, also involved in projects like The Eminence in Shadow: Lost Echoes.
Episode Count?
While no official episode count has been confirmed, there’s speculation that the series may run for either a single cour (12–13 episodes) or possibly a two-cour season (24–25 episodes), depending on the adaptation scope and pacing.
Whether you’ve read the light novel or this is your first time hearing about Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka, this is definitely one to watch this fall — especially if you’re into coming-of-age dramas with a touch of romance and social intrigue.
