Promotional artwork for the anime 'I Made Friends with the Second Prettiest Girl in My Class,' featuring a close-up of a young anime girl with shoulder-length dark-bluish black hair and bright red eyes.  She has a soft, gentle expression and is resting her chin on her hand, looking slightly to her side. She wears a light grey/blue school uniform blazer.  In the blurred background, parts of two other girls are visible; one with blonde hair and blue eyes appears to be waving, and the other has reddish-pink hair.  The setting appears to be a school classroom with a desk and some small objects on it. The text overlays the image in Japanese and English, with the English title of the anime clearly visible. The artistic style is characteristic of modern anime, with soft coloring and a focus on expressive eyes and features. The year '2026' and 'ON AIR' are also prominently displayed at the bottom, indicating a release date.
