Waji's BL Manga Series 'Trying to Break Up With Sex' Gets Anime Adaptation on AnimeFesta
AnimeFesta, the platform known for adult-oriented boys-love (BL) productions, is once again drawing attention. Waji's manga of the same name, 'Trying to Break Up With Sex', will officially receive an anime adaptation. The news was announced by Anime News Network and has generated great excitement among BL fans.
The manga tells the story of a man who tries to break up with his boyfriend more than 50 times, but fails each time. Focusing on emotional attachment, desire, and failed breakup attempts in the relationship, the work stands out with Waji's unique balance of humor and drama. The anime version will be released under AnimeFesta's 'BL label', which is known for offering adult-themed content faithful to the original manga. The platform's past projects include 'The Titan's Bride', 'Candy Color Paradox', and 'The Girl I Like Forgot Her Glasses'.
Waji is a renowned mangaka especially in the BL genre. 'Trying to Break Up With Sex' was first published on digital platforms and quickly gained readers' appreciation. The manga explores the inner conflict of being unable to leave a partner and the fine line between desire and reason. The anime adaptation is expected to bring these dynamics to the screen even more intensely.
AnimeFesta's announcement of this project is a sign that the BL anime market continues to grow. Interest in the BL genre has increased exponentially in recent years both in Japan and internationally. Such productions offered by the platform's subscription model often include bolder scenes that are not found on regular streaming platforms. Waji's fans are already eagerly awaiting the voice cast and production details.
Although the release date has not been announced yet, it is estimated that the production could be released in the second half of 2025 or early 2026. Fans are wondering whether Waji's other works will also be considered by AnimeFesta. Such adaptations also pave the way for the BL genre to gain more presence in mainstream anime.
