⇒ [ Updating as needed! AnimeJapan 2017" special feature!

Eromanga Sensei" is a love comedy centered on high school student and novelist Masamune Izumi and illustrator Sagiri Izumi, who works under the pen name "Eromanga Sensei". The story begins when Masamune discovers that Eromanga-sensei, who illustrates his works, is Saori, who has been shut up in her room since she became his sister-in-law a year ago. The original novel is currently in its eighth volume and continues to be published; the TV anime broadcast finally began in April 2017.

The first person to appear on stage was the MC, Sadaaki Matsuoka, who plays the role of Masamune Izumi. Responding to his call, Minami Takahashi playing Elf Yamada, Saori Onishi playing Muramasa Senju, Ebuki Kido playing Megumi Jinno, and Yui Ishikawa playing Chie Takasago took the stage one after another. Finally, Akane Fujita, who plays the role of "Eromanga-sensei," or "Eromanga teacher," Saori Izumi, appeared on the stage at ......, but then came the sad news. To our dismay, Ms. Fujita, who had worked so hard to promote the show, had finally retreated offstage, just like Saori. In order to get her to come onstage, Takahashi got the audience excited and tried to call out "Eromanga-sensei," and everyone else tried to imitate Takahashi. As a special treat, a pure gold Eromanga-sensei figure*, priced at 400,000 yen, made its appearance. Perhaps attracted by the figure, Mr. Fujita finally appeared on stage.

Note: The "Pure Gold Izumi Sagiri" is a jointly produced product with Chugai Mining, which was made possible through the "Eromanga-sensei Official Partner Recruitment Project" held on the official website of the work. This 24-karat gold figure, approximately 60mm high and weighing 20g, is completely made-to-order and available for purchase upon acceptance until May 2, 2017.

After exchanges such as ......, the performers finally gathered on stage. First, they introduced the characters they would be playing as they watched a video on the screen. After Ishikawa's comment, Takahashi said, "I feel a moe for aprons since I saw Chie," and insisted on the appeal of aprons. Matsuoka-san then asked everyone who their favorite character was, and they all talked about their favorite characters. By the way, Matsuoka-san's favorite character is Masamune, the character he plays.

Next, the theme song was introduced, and to the surprise of everyone, the ending theme "adrenaline! The audience cheered loudly, and Momo Asakura, Ten Amamiya, and Shiina Natsukawa of the unit "TrySail" appeared on stage to sing the ending theme song, "adrenaline! Amid loud cheers from the audience, the three introduced the song as "a cheerful song that gives you a rush of energy" and "a song that gives you a rush of adrenaline," as the title suggests. After that, they performed a 90-second special version of "adrenaline! 90-second special version of the song was performed for the first time. The audience was excited by the song's clear and clear voice, and they became one with the song.

At the end of the show, the speakers reiterated their enthusiasm for the work. Mr. Fujita said, "I have been involved in the work for a long time, so I feel close to the feelings of the production staff. I am happy that the anime will be broadcast. Mr. Matsuoka said, "The title may make some people think, 'Oh, what's that? I think the name has a deep meaning, which will eventually be depicted in the anime. Please look forward to it.

The main cast members took the stage and talked about the charms of "Eromanga-sensei". The event, full of energy and colorful performances, came to a close leaving a pleasant aftertaste.
