Further details such as the studio, staff, voice cast, and release date are yet to be revealed. To commemorate the anime announcement, an illustration by the manga creator has been released:
The manga was initially released as a web comic on Banjo’s X (formerly Twitter) account in December 2019. Ichijinsha is publishing the manga and currently has 11 tankobon volumes. The 12th volume is slated to release on June 25, 2026. Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the manga in English, describing it as:
An LGBT+ romantic comedy in which nobody is quite what they seem, and everyone learns to be who they truly are.
It’s a familiar story: a popular high school student gives their plain friend a makeover and transforms their life. But this time, both the popular student and the plain friend are boys! Mido Kenshiro has loved cosmetics all his life, keeping his obsession a secret. But when his childhood friend Hiura lets Kenshiro practice applying makeup on him, the results are earth-shattering—for both of them.
