And they were roommates!
It’s been almost half a year since LAFTEL first announced the aeni adaptation of the popular BL manhwa One Room TA, but the streaming platform did not forget it! LAFTEL dropped the main teaser trailer for the adaptation. The trailer opens with Uyun’s earnest confession to his handsome TA Jinhyeong and poor Jinhyeong spitting his coffee out. Turns out that Uyun’s image of Jinhyeong as a cold and distant young man gets completely shattered when he realizes just how much of a weirdo this guy is.
Information around the voice actors were not readily available at this article’s writing.
In addition, a pop-up collaboration between LAFTEL and ANIPLUS will occur between June 25 to August 16 at the Busan and Seoul branch. Details around the collab will be revealed at a later date.
One Room TA, written and illustrated by Jibung, was first released on Peanutoon but has moved to Bomtoom after the platform closed. Garnering over 7 million views, the webcomic has also earned “Most Entertaining Books of 2024” by the Korean Publishing Culture Association. The series has been a popular fan favorite since its release in 2022.
The synopsis is as follows:
After returning to campus as a sophomore, Uyun meets Jinhyeong, the socially-awkward-yet-stunningly-handsome T.A., and blurts out a confession on a whim. One thing leads to another…and suddenly, they’re roommates! Just as things start to heat up, Jinhyeong pulls back after a steamy kiss and says he has a very specific fantasy about physical intimacy. But just what kind of fantasy does he have? Can the two of them overcome all their wild expectations (and even wilder reality) to survive their first night together?
Formerly on Tappytoon before Peanutoon’s closure, One Room TA can now be read on Lezhin. The aeni releases on LAFTEL in the summer.
