“My Crush's Crush” TV Anime Premieres April 2027, Produced by Project No.9; Gakuto Kajiwara, Haruna Mikawa, and Nene Hieda Share Their Thoughts

The TV anime adaptation of "My Crush's Crush," with original work by Sekina Aoi and manga by Ryo Tsuzura, has been confirmed to air from April 2027. Alongside the announcement, a teaser trailer, a teaser visual, and information on the main cast and staff have been unveiled.

Serialized in "Young Animal Zero" (Hakusensha), the series is a romantic comedy about a "tangled" love triangle in which the unrequited feelings of three high school students loop endlessly. The newly released teaser visual shows the three main characters, Sora Akizuki, Asahi Suzukaze, and Miya Fuwa, lying on a rooftop in a scene that evokes the feeling of youth. The teaser trailer, meanwhile, features footage hinting at where the love of the three is headed, as each has someone they like but they never quite come together.

In the main cast, Gakuto Kajiwara plays Sora Akizuki, who has feelings for an underclassman; Haruna Mikawa plays Asahi Suzukaze, the head of the "Clinical Trial Club"; and Nene Hieda plays Miya Fuwa, who has feelings for Asahi.

Comments from the main cast have also arrived to mark the anime adaptation. Kajiwara described the appeal of the work, saying, "You can feel so much of the frustration of love that almost crosses paths but never quite does, the bittersweet flutter of the heart, and the warmth of people." Mikawa described the character Asahi as "a cool, cute, and absolutely wonderful hero," and encouraged fans, "Please dive deep into the world of 'My Crush's Crush' together with these irresistibly charming characters." Hieda said the highlight is "the fascinating way each character's feelings can't be dismissed as a simple love triangle," and revealed a strong attachment to the characters, saying, "Miya's devotion to the one she likes... is truly precious...!!"

On the staff side, the director is Kazuomi Koga of "Rent-a-Girlfriend," the series composition is by Yoriko Tomita of "My Dress-Up Darling," the character design is by Takayuki Noguchi of "The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten," and the music is by Rina Tayama. Animation production is handled by Project No.9.
