Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie is a romantic comedy series based on a manga that began in 2019. The lead protagonist is Shikimori, a sweet young girl going out with the unlucky Izumi.

The story is more of a role reversal romance, where Shikimori seems like your everyday teenager until her boyfriend is in trouble.

5 Tiger & Bunny's Second Season Sees The Original Heroes Continuing To Protect Their City

Tiger & Bunny was a super popular anime at the start of the 2010s. The storyline feels even more relevant in a social media world.  In Tiger & Bunny, all the superheroes have sponsorships and compete to be the best hero.

Both Kotetsu T. Kaburagi and Barnaby Brooks are two such heroes, aiming to keep the peace in Sternbild City. For those who haven't seen it in a while, they might want to go back and rewatch the original series as a refresher. And My Hero Academia fans should give this series a try while their favorite series is on break.

4 Ascendance of a Book Worm Season 3 Brings Back Everyone's Favorite Librarian

Ascendance of a Bookworm is almost an anti-isekai. Its protagonist doesn't dream of anything more than having her own library. Impossibly, despite bucking the trend of most major isekai, that hasn't put a dent in this series' popularity.

The anime is entering its third season and shows no sign of slowing down in popularity or running out of source material. As exciting as it is to have this series back, it's hard not to be concerned about whether the anime will keep running until the end of the light novels.

Trapped in a Dating Sim is another isekai anime that doesn't quite feel like an isekai. The protagonist is a former office worker who's been transported into an otome game he'd already beaten in his original life.

2 Rising Of The Shield Hero Season 2 Brings The Heroes Against A New Threat

Rising of the Shield Hero was one of the most popular anime the year it was released. The world-building that went into that show and Naofumi's complex nature made the series an easy watch.

But despite the series' popularity and getting a second and third season greenlit almost immediately, there had been no announcement of when it would actually air until recently. The new Spirit Tortoise arc is one of the most important parts of the light novel. Hopefully, the anime can match up.

1 Spy X Family Shows A Spy & An Assassin Bonded Together By A Psychic Child

Spy x Family has been one of the most popular shonen on the market in Japan for a while now, and an anime feels long past due. The story takes place around a fake family made up of Loid Forger, Yor, and their adopted daughter Anya.

Though both Loid and Yor are meant to be keeping their identities a secret for the sake of gathering intel, there's one problem: Anya is a mind-reader. It takes her no time to figure out who both of her parents are. Of course, she doesn't want to spoil it by letting anyone know that she knows. This adorable show has the potential to be the big hit of the year.r.
