After the reissue of the sixth episode of the anime adaptation of the manga written and illustrated by Nene Yukimori, Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai (Kubo Won’t Let Me Be Invisible), it was announced that the seventh episode will be broadcast on May 16 in Japanas well as on streaming platforms globally.
Let’s remember that the series was suspended in the season of Winter-2023 (January-March) after the broadcast of the sixth episode, so the seventh will be the “true resumption of the anime adaptation.” In addition, the suspension in question was derived from production problems caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Will production now be free of these problems?
The distribution in the West is carried out by the platform HIDIVE and is confirmed with a total of twelve episodes. For his part, Yukimori began publishing the manga in the magazine Weekly Young Jump from the publisher Shueisha in October 2019 and ended it in March 2023. The author also wrote the manga Ningen ni Koi shita Oni wa Warau in the magazine Comic Ruelle between August 2016 and December 2018.

Synopsis of Kubo-san wa Mob wo Yurusanai
High school student Junta Shiraishi has a simple goal: to live a fulfilling youth. However, achieving this goal seems to be more difficult than expected, as everyone around him often takes no notice of him due to his lack of presence. In fact, Shiraishi’s lack of presence is so severe that people believe that his seat in his class is always empty, and mistakenly assume that he often misses class. There is even a strange rumor spreading through the class, that those who manage to see Shiraishi will be blessed with good fortune for that day.
So far, the only person who notices his existence is Nagisa Kubo, the girl sitting next to him. Unfortunately for him though, Kubo likes to make fun of him on a daily basis and often puts him in unusual and harrowing situations. However, as Kubo’s antics continue to involve the reluctant Shiraishi, he may soon discover that his youth might not be as dull as he initially thought.
