On September 13, 2021, the official Twitter for the TV anime adaptation of Sasaki and Miyano revealed a teaser promotional video (PV). The video also revealed that the show will premiere in January 2022.

Studio Deen is producing the anime, with Shinji Ishihara (Fairy Tail, Log Horizon) directing. Takahiro Ueno is the assistant director, and Yoshiko Nakamura (Super Lovers, Shounen Maid) is in charge of the series’ composition. Additionally, Maki Fuji (I’ve Always Liked You, Our love has always been 10 centimeters apart) is designing the series’ characters.
Furthermore, the show’s cast is comprised of voice actors from the manga’s drama CDs, all of whom will be reprising their roles. Yusuke Shirai and Soma Saito will voice leading characters Shūmei Sasaki and Yoshikazu Miyano, respectively. The cast also includes Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Taiga Hirano, Yūki Ono as Jirō Ogasawara, Yuma Uchida as Masato Hanzawa, Ryohei Arai as Tasuku Kuresawa, and Mitsuhiro Ichiki as Gonsaburō Tashiro.
Shou Harusono’s Sasaki and Miyano manga launched on the pixiv website in 2016. Additionally, the manga’s seventh volume was published by Kadokawa in November 2020. There’s also a novel adaptation of the series, by Kotoko Hachijō, and a spinoff manga titled Hirano to Kagiura, following two of the series’ side characters. This spinoff has also inspired its own novel.
Yen Press licenses the manga, and describes its plot as follows:
It all started like a typical old-school boys’ love plotline—bad-boy senior meets adorably awkward underclassman, one of them falls in love, and so on and so forth. But although Miyano is a self-proclaimed boys’ love expert, he hasn’t quite realized…he’s in one himself. Which means it’s up to Sasaki to make sure their story has a happily ever after…!
