Honey Lemon Soda release date, trailer, latest news
A refreshingly soon launch.
After releasing 26 volumes during its so-far nine-year manga run, Honey Lemon Soda has an anime adaptation on the way – and it's sooner than you might think.
A long-running young romance story that's even had a live-action movie adaptation in 2021, Honey Lemon Soda follows a shy high school girl, Uka Ishimori. After meeting the freewheeling Kai Mirua, a boy whose hair and personality she likens to honey lemon soda, Uka's world gradually changes as she's urged to become more confident in herself.
There's plenty of ongoing anime we're waiting on the next entry for like with the Solo Leveling season 2 release date, or when we'll be seeing Dragon Ball Daima's English dub. However, there are times when a quaint slice-of-life series in between is just what you need.
Alternatively, if romance anime is all you're after, then Honey Lemon Soda is just for you, judging by how amazingly well the manga continues to sell amongst shojo fans. Let's get into when and where you can start watching this latest series.
