Masaomi Ando ( Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse ) is directing White Album 2 at anime studio Satelight ( Macross Frontier, AKB0048, Bodacious Space Pirates ). Fumiaki Maruto, the scenario writer for the original games, is supervising and writing the series scripts and Satoru Fujimoto ( Senki Zesshō Symphogear G ) is adapting Takeshi Nakamura's original character designs. Composer Naoya Shimokawa ( To Heart, White Album, Tears to Tiara ) is returning from the games to serve as the music producer for the anime.

Leaf, the adult game brand of AQUAPLUS, first released White Album 2 as two visual novel chapters for personal computers. The story centers around a college junior named Haruki Kitahara and his relationships with Setsuna Ogiso and Kazuki Touma in the light music club.

The anime will premiere in Japan on October 5.

Piyo's original Teekyū manga centers around a girls' tennis team. (The title is a wordplay on a Japanese term for tennis, teikyū.) However, the four high school girls on the team hardly play any actual tennis. The tennis manga has already received two anime adaptations. Crunchyroll streamed the second season as it aired earlier this year.
