The first PV for Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love (Isshiki-san wa Koi wo Shiritai) only gave the barest hints of how much ecchi fun could be found in this series. That superhero landing certainly gave us a unique, cultured perspective. But this new PV drives home just how close and friendly these two detectives will get. Fans of watching serious girls crack under romantic pressure to see the pure maiden within will have much to enjoy when this series premieres.

Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love News, Cast, Staff
The ace detective and her unexpected love interest are as follows:
- Rinna Miliford Isshiki — Riko Akechi (Kanade Gouhara from Witch Watch). Rinna is a high-ranking detective who recently awakened romantic feelings.
- Meishi Rokutanda — Shuichiro Umeda (Yuki Izumi from Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie). Meishi is a well-meaning but low-ranking detective.
Rinna and Meishi will begin a “pseudo-relationship” sometime in January 2027. Studio Sakura Create is producing the anime adaptation, with Kazuya Komai directing and Deko Akao writing the series. Shōhei Hamaguchi designs the characters, and Michiru provides the music. Enako performs the anime’s opening theme song “Gō Yoku Koi o Seisu!?” and provides the voice of Nene Haneshita.
Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love has an official website and a Twitter (X) account with more information and key visuals.
Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love, and Meishi-kun is Here to Help
Isshiki is a rare archetype who presents herself as stoic and perfect yet melts at the first encounter with love. This is also one of the comparatively few times when the woman is stronger and higher ranked than the man. The mangaka’s intentions were on full display, too. A tough-as-nails detective with short shorts over stockings, and an ace player for Team Plot? Cute, ecchi romance was always on the menu.
Yeah, things get pretty dang ecchi in this series. I look forward to seeing how their fake relationship, formed because Isshiki’s new emotions confused her, progresses as they get closer. I wonder how much detective work they’re actually going to perform in the series. They’re both dedicated to the job, but I’m curious about the balance between romantic scenes and detective storylines. It would give them an excuse to put Isshiki in different outfits.
A Closer Look at Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love
Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love manga summary:
The straitlaced and serious police inspector Isshiki has earned the respect of everyone around her, but lately, she hasn’t quite been herself at work. Whenever her coworker Rokutanda is around, she gets flustered and slips up! Having no experience with such complicated feelings, Isshiki decides to enter a pseudo-relationship with Rokutanda and figure out what this love thing is all about!
Ayune Araragi released the original Rinna Keibu wa Kokyu ga Dekinai manga series between October 27th, 2016, and December 27th, 2017. Ichijinsha published all three volumes in Monthly Comic Rex. That initial series differs from the current iteration, for example, in its London setting. Araragi began releasing the current iteration, Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love, on June 26th, 2020. Kadokawa Shoten has since published ten volumes in Monthly Shonen Ace.
