Sekina Aoi’s romantic comedy manga My Crush’s Crush — also known in Japanese as Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito — is officially getting a TV anime adaptation.
The news came with a fresh announcement illustration from manga artist Ryo Tsuzura, marking the series’ jump from manga pages to the anime screen. For anime fans who enjoy messy relationship charts, awkward confessions, and “bro, why is everyone liking the wrong person?” energy, this one sounds like it could be proper fun.
Sekina Aoi may already be a familiar name to rom-com fans thanks to Gamers!, another title associated with the creator. So if you enjoy school comedy setups where misunderstandings stack like ranked match losses, My Crush’s Crush should probably go on your radar.
What is My Crush’s Crush about?
The story follows Sora Akizuki, who finally works up the courage to confess to Miya Fuwa. Unfortunately for him, Miya shuts him down immediately.
The reason? She has feelings for Asahi Suzukaze, the president of a mysterious group called the Clinical Trials Club.
Trying to understand Asahi better, Sora ends up joining the club. But then comes the next twist: Asahi herself is also crushing on someone else. So yes, the whole thing is basically a chain reaction of one-sided feelings, and honestly, that is peak anime rom-com chaos.
The manga is currently running in Hakusensha’s Young Animal ZERO. Its seventh volume was released in Japan on August 28.
English release is coming too
There is also some good news for readers who prefer official English releases: Yen Press has announced that it will release My Crush’s Crush in English. However, the source article notes that no release date has been given yet.
That means we know the English version is planned, but we do not have a confirmed timing window from the provided information.
Why this matters for Malaysia and SEA fans
Analysis: For Malaysia and SEA anime fans, this is worth watching because rom-com adaptations can move fast once more production details drop. A TV anime announcement usually means more people will start checking out the manga, especially if the premise is easy to pitch: one guy confesses, gets rejected, joins a strange club, and discovers the crush situation is way more complicated than expected.
But important note: the current source does not mention the anime’s studio, cast, staff, broadcast window, streaming platform, Malaysian availability, or SEA release plans. So for now, jangan overclaim. This is an early adaptation announcement, not a full launch briefing.
Still, the setup has the kind of relationship messiness that can work well in anime form if the timing, voice acting, and comedy delivery land properly. If you liked the misunderstanding-heavy flavour associated with Gamers!, this could scratch a similar itch — just with a fresh cast and a new romantic knot to untangle.
More details should come later as the production rollout continues. For now, My Crush’s Crush has officially entered the anime adaptation queue, and rom-com fans have another title to keep bookmarked.
