My Crush's Crush Manga Gets TV Anime Adaptation
My Crush's Crush anime is officially coming! A TV anime adaptation of the manga by Sekina Aoi and Ryō Tsuzura was announced on August 27, 2026. Although details such as the release date, studio, and cast have not been shared yet, the news has generated great excitement among manga fans.
The announcement came with a brief statement from the series' publisher and the release of the first visual. My Crush's Crush (known in Japanese as Watashi no Suki na Hito no Suki na Hito) has gained a loyal readership in Japan since it began serialization in November 2022. The series stands out for its story that blends unrequited love, misunderstandings, and high school romance with a humorous tone. The story follows a high school student who learns that the person they like is actually in love with someone else, and must confront their own feelings within this complicated love triangle.
The names behind the series are no strangers to the anime world. Sekina Aoi, who writes the story, is known as the author of the Gamers! light novel series, which reached a large fan base and was also adapted into an anime in 2017. Illustrator Ryō Tsuzura, on the other hand, creates an atmosphere that suits the romantic comedy genre perfectly with a soft and expressive art style. The duo's chemistry is cited as one of the most important reasons why My Crush's Crush became so beloved in such a short time. The manga was first published under MF Comics and has released 4 volumes to date.
In recent years, the great success of romantic comedy adaptations such as Kaguya-sama: Love is War and Horimiya has increased studios' interest in the genre. My Crush's Crush fits perfectly into this wave, offering a story that is both sweet and heartfelt. The announcement of the anime adaptation will pave the way for the series to reach a wider audience internationally as well. In the coming weeks, the voice cast, production team, and first promotional video are expected to be shared via the official X (Twitter) account and website. We will keep a close eye on developments.
