Story and Characters
The anime adapts the hit manga series that ran on Shonen Jump+ from May 2022 to November 2024 . The story centers on two high school students who could not be more different from each other.
Suzuki (voiced by Sayumi Suzushiro in Japanese, Celeste Perez in English) is an energetic and cheerful girl who always tries to fit in with those around her . She follows the crowd and worries about what others think. When she develops feelings for her quiet classmate Tani (voiced by Shogo Sakata in Japanese, Brandon Acosta in English), she has to push past her own fears to confess .
Tani is the complete opposite. He is calm, speaks his mind easily, and does not seem bothered by social pressures. The manga’s official description on Manga Plus calls it “a story for anyone who wants to enjoy love” and describes it as a “down-to-earth, relatable rom-com” .
The supporting cast includes classmates like Watanabe (Yuna Taniguchi/Hannah Alyea), Sato (Konatsu Hirabayashi/Cassie Ewulu), Yamada (Anji Iwata/Van Barr Jr.), Azuma (Miyuri Shimabukuro/Sarah Roach), Taira (Wataru Katล/Mauricio Ortiz-Segura), and Nishi (Kokoro ลmori/Rebecca Danae) .

What Makes This Anime Special
You and I Are Polar Opposites stands out in the crowded romantic comedy genre because of its realistic approach to young love. Instead of over-the-top drama or complicated love triangles, the series focuses on the small, awkward, and sweet moments between two people learning to understand each other.
The title perfectly captures the central conflict. Suzuki and Tani approach life from completely different angles. She worries about fitting in; he does not care what anyone thinks. She overthinks every interaction; he says exactly what he feels. These differences could drive them apart, but instead, they create opportunities for growth and connection.
The manga was serialized on Shonen Jump+, the same platform that hosts major hits like Spy x Family and Kaiju No. 8. Its success there led to this anime adaptation, which brings the characters and their chemistry to life with animation and voice acting.
For viewers who enjoy heartfelt romance with humor and relatable characters, this anime delivers exactly that. The weekly release schedule gives audiences something to look forward to each Sunday, and with 24 episodes planned, there is plenty of story to explore.
