Gamers! Creator Sekina Aoi's My Crush's Crush Manga Gets TV Anime Adaptation
My Crush's Crush (Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito) anime is officially coming! It has been officially announced that the romantic comedy manga written by Sekina Aoi, known as the creator of the Gamers! series, will receive a TV anime adaptation. While the announcement has created great excitement among fans of the series, the first details about the adaptation are also expected to be shared soon.
Details such as the release date, studio, voice cast, or teaser visual for the anime have not been shared yet. However, with the adaptation decision being finalized, the project has been confirmed to have moved into production. More information is expected to be announced via official social media accounts and the publisher in the coming weeks. In particular, viewers who loved the Gamers! anime are eagerly wondering how Aoi's unique sense of humor, built on misunderstandings and love triangles, will be brought to life in this new series.
My Crush's Crush tackles a classic one-sided love story from an unexpected perspective. The story follows a young man who learns that the person he likes actually likes someone else, and instead of accepting this situation, he tries to get closer to the person his crush likes. This interesting relationship dynamic, oscillating between jealousy, admiration, and adolescent confusion, gives rise to moments that are both funny and touching. The series stands out with Aoi's natural dialogue and masterful reflection of chemistry between characters.
The manga's creator, Sekina Aoi, is best known for the light novel series Gamers!, which was published between 2015 and 2019 and spanned 12 volumes. The series, brought to life with illustrations by Shin Saburamen, was adapted into a 12-episode TV anime by studio Pine Jam in 2017 and became one of the most beloved youth anime of its era thanks to its chaotic romantic comedy plot built on misunderstandings. After Gamers!, Aoi continues his career in the romantic comedy genre with Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito, this time written entirely in manga format. The manga began serialization at a time when interest in youth and school-themed romantic comedies was rising again in Japan, and it quickly gained a loyal readership.
In recent years, school-themed romantic comedies such as Kaguya-sama: Love is War, Horimiya, and Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian have achieved great success with their anime adaptations, increasing demand for new projects in the genre. My Crush's Crush anime is also a candidate to be one of the newest representatives of this wave. If the production is entrusted to a quality studio and Aoi's witty storytelling is properly reflected on screen, it would come as no surprise if the series becomes one of the standout romantic comedies of the 2026-2027 season. For now, all eyes are on the first visual and promotional video to be released for the anime.
