The official website for the television anime adaptation of AZU's Magical Sempai (Tejina Senpai) manga began streaming a new promotional video for the anime on Monday. The video previews i☆Ris' opening theme song "FANTASTIC ILLUSION."
The anime will premiere on Tokyo MX on July 2 at 11:00 p.m., and each episode will be 15 minutes long. The show will also air on MBS and on BS-NTV. Crunchyroll will stream the series as it airs.
The anime stars:
- Kaede Hondo as Senpai

- Eri Kitamura as Saki-chan
- Rie Takahashi as Madara-san
- Daisuke Namikawa as Ma-kun
- Himika Akaneya as Sister
Fumiaki Usui (episode director for Chaos;HEAd, Spice and Wolf, Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere II) is directing the series at LIDEN FILMS, and Rintarou Ikeda (Love and Lies, Hakyū Hōshin Engi, Love Tyrant scripts) is both writing and overseeing the series scripts. Eriko Itō (Love and Lies, Poco's Udon World) is serving as both character designer and chief animation director. Minori Suzuki will perform the show's ending theme song.
Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga digitally, and it describes the story:
“I encountered her … a cute, but 'weird' sempai!” Magic-loving but stage-fright-addled, this sempai comes with a failure rate of 100%—but you can't take your eyes off her! The off-color, magical gag manga that's caused an uproar all over Japan is finally here! Here's to non-athletic hobbies!
AZU launched the manga in Young Magazine in February 2016.
