【Spring 2025 Anime】 Clothes Off, Time Rewinds!? A Crazy Romantic Comedy Manga Gets an Anime Adaptation This Spring! Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san!

What if there were a beautiful student council president who could rewind time by taking off her clothes, and a high school boy who was made into her “closet”......? That’s the outrageous premise of the manga Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san, by Hiiragi Yuuichi.

This work began serialization in “Monthly Gangan Joker” in 2019 and gained enough popularity to be nominated for *The NEXT MANGA AWARDS* in 2021. The much-anticipated anime adaptation is scheduled to air in April 2025, making it one of the most noteworthy rom-coms right now.

A fateful encounter marks the beginning of the “closet”!?

The protagonist of the story is Shirota Koushi, an ordinary high school student. One day, he witnesses the “secret form” of Takamine Takane, the beautiful and brilliant student council president admired by all.

In truth, Takamine-san possesses an astonishing ability to rewind time by taking off her clothes. Normally, people lose their memories due to this “rewind,” but for some reason, Shirota retains his memories thanks to a unique condition!

As a result, he’s assigned the role of storing Takamine-san’s clothes—essentially becoming her “closet.” Every time she uses her ability, Shirota ends up receiving her discarded clothes—sometimes in his room, sometimes in a corner of the classroom, or even poolside—rushing around in confusion.

“Rewinding time by taking off clothes” might seem like a ridiculous premise at first glance. But the charm of this work lies in how seriously it commits to its over-the-top worldbuilding. The story briskly leaps over common sense, delivering both laughs and heart-pounding moments with great pacing.

What’s amazing is that it doesn’t just stop at being a typical ecchi-luck rom-com. Even in the most borderline scenes, the “rewind” mechanism enables bold storytelling, and it’s this delicate balance that captivates readers.

Takamine-san has a mysterious and otherworldly aura, yet her occasional expressions are heart-meltingly cute. Shirota, though initially bewildered, gradually develops the resolve to support her as he gets involved with her secret—making you want to root for him.

Haite Kudasai, Takamine-san is a fresh take on rom-coms that makes you think, “I guess this kind of love comedy is valid too.” Despite its unconventional premise, the appealing characters, brisk story pacing, and slightly risqué situations draw readers in completely.

With the 2025 anime adaptation, it’s sure to explode in popularity. If you read the original now, you might get to brag later, saying, “I knew about it before it was big!”

Whether you’re a rom-com fan or looking for a slightly provocative story, be sure to check it out. You just might end up becoming a “closet” too......?
