The television anime adaptation of the romantic comedy manga My Crush's Crush is officially scheduled to premiere in April 2027. The announcement confirms that the series will join the Spring 2027 broadcast season, bringing Sekina Aoi's latest work to the screen.
While an anime project was initially hinted at with a commemorative illustration in August 2026, the update released on November 9, 2026, provided the first concrete details. This reveal included a teaser visual, a teaser trailer, and the primary production staff and voice cast members assigned to the project.
What We Know
Studio Project No.9 is handling the animation production. The staff is led by director Kazuomi Koga, with Yoriko Tomita in charge of series composition and scripts. Takayuki Noguchi is serving as the character designer, while Rina Tayama is composing the music. Project No.9 is recognized for its previous work on romance titles such as The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten.
The official trailer revealed the main voice cast for the central trio. Gakuto Kajiwara will voice the protagonist Sora Akizuki, Haruna Mikawa will play Asahi Suzukaze, and Nene Hieda has been cast as Miya Fuwa. The story centers on Sora Akizuki, who, after being rejected by his crush Miya Fuwa, joins a "Clinical Trials Club" to learn more about the person Miya actually likes. This leads to the discovery of a complicated chain of unrequited feelings among the students.
The source material is a manga written by Sekina Aoi and illustrated by Ryo Tsuzura. It has been serialized in Hakusensha's Young Animal Zero magazine since November 2022. As of August 2026, seven tankobon volumes have been released in Japan.
Why It Matters
This adaptation represents the newest project from Sekina Aoi, the author of Gamers! and Student Council's Discretion. The series is noted for using a "love chain" premise to subvert standard romantic triangle tropes. The project's move to television follows a surge in interest after the manga's English licensing was announced earlier in 2026.
Where to Watch or Read
No international streaming platforms have been announced for the My Crush's Crush anime as of November 10, 2026. However, the manga is available for English-speaking audiences. Yen Press confirmed it had licensed the series at Anime NYC 2026. Readers can look for the physical and digital volumes through major book retailers.
What Happens Next
The My Crush's Crush anime will begin its Japanese broadcast in April 2027. A specific premiere day, episode count, and details regarding the opening and ending theme songs have not yet been announced. Further updates are expected as the Spring 2027 season approaches.
