The romantic comedy manga series Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? by Norishiro-chan (author) and Sakana Uozumi (manga illustrator) will be adapted into an anime in 2026. Commemorative illustrations by the manga author and illustrator were also revealed and a website for the anime was opened. The staff, studio, and voice cast have yet to be revealed.
Norishiro-chan launched the manga in Coamix’s seinen manga magazine Monthly Comic Zenon in August 2021, and it currently has 10 volumes in circulation.
Yen Press is licensing the manga in English, and the first volume is set to release on October 28, 2025. They describe the story as follows:
Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. As people from different “castes”, you wouldn’t expect them to have much in common. But when their worlds collide over a borrowed eraser, Takuya slips up about his favorite anime, and Amane…is rather quick to correct him. She says she’s not a fan, but her familiarity with the series suggests otherwise. Could she be…a fellow geek?!
