The Spring, 2025 anime season has been excellent for fun slice-of-life series featuring cute girls doing cute things. (Food for the Soul, I’m talking to you).
That includes ongoing comedy anime Mono, which premiered on April 13th, and released its third episode today.
Now Mono has a second trailer out that, hopefully, will entice even more anime fans to watch this brilliantly cute, sweet and funny photography-themed anime series.
Especially those who enjoy similar anime series like Non Non Biyori, Laid-Back Camp and Encouragement of Climb.
A trailer that features main girls Satsuki, An, and Sakurako as they attempt to save both their school’s Photography Club and Cinema Club by combining the two into — the Cinephoto Club!
Not just for their own pleasure, though, as helping mangaka Haruno with her latest manga soon becomes just as much fun.
The Mono trailer #2 came out on the anime’s X account this morning after Episode 3 of the anime, along with the message:
Can you find more fun things to do this weekend?
Mono anime production details
The Mono anime series is adapted from the manga by Laid-Back Camp written by Afro, so you know it will be good.
The still-ongoing manga series has four volumes out in Japanese so far, with a fifth volume due out in June.
An English translation is also being published by Yen Press, with one volume out and Volume 2 due out on April 29th.
Ryouta Aikei (episode director Jujutsu Kaisen, Season 2) is directing, with Yoko Yonaiyama (A Sign of Affection) in charge of scripts and series composition, and Takuya Miyahara (Uma Musume: Cinderella Gray) both designing the characters and serving as chief animation director.
Studio Soigne (Kamiina Botan, Yoeru Sugata wa Yuri no Hana) is animating the series.
Crunchyroll describes the story:
After three girls merge their school clubs to keep them alive, their travels around Japan become the perfect subject for a new work by the town’s resident manga artist.
Time to take in the sights, try out all the gadgets, and snack on local delicacies!
But it really is a lot more fun than even that sounds.
The first three episodes of Mono are now streaming on Crunchyroll.
Enjoy the anime’s second trailer, as it will prove to you in just over a minute just how darned cute this thing turned out to be.
