A new kind of class is in session, and the matters of love are on the agenda in Sentai Filmworks` latest acquisition, LOVE LAB (????, Rabu Rabo, 2013). From original creator Ruri Miyahara, this heartwarming junior high school comedy series is directed by Masahiko Ohta (MINAMI-KE, BRIGHTER THAN THE DAWNING BLUE) with series composition by Takashi Aoshima (MITSUDOMOE, YURIYURI – HAPPY GO LILY), music by Yasuhiro Misawa (KOKORO CONNECT, La storia della Arcana Famiglia), and animation production by Dogakobo (ENGAGED TO THE UNIDENTIFIED, MAJESTIC PRINCE). Perhaps it was from the shock of discovering her school’s most respected girl kissing a life-size huggie doll, but in those first awkward moments Riko Kurahashi said something she wishes she hadn’t. Because not only did student council president Natsuo Maki completely swallow Riko’s glib fib about being “popular with the boys,” she drafted Riko as her aide and advisor in love and romance! That would have been bad enough if Natsuo only wanted advice, but Fujisaki Girls Academy’s most brilliant student is also the most obsessive, and simply talking about the opposite sex isn’t sufficient. No, Natsuo postulates hypothetical scenarios and “researches” them in her secret Love Lab! And since interaction with boys is banned at Fujisaki, guess who has to help act those fantasies out? And as other girls join the Love Lab, Riko’s role as the group’s love-master becomes even worse! Because she ISN’T one! Most boys don’t even LIKE her, but how can she admit that without destroying the friendships she now cherishes? Exposure looms and each new “experiment” brings Riko one step closer to total disaster as Love and Deception combine into the ultimate explosive mixture in the LOVE LAB! LOVE LAB will be available soon through select digital outlets with a home video release to follow.
