Another manga-to-anime pipeline is moving, and this one sounds like pure rom-com chaos.
Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito, officially known in English as My Crush’s Crush, is getting a television anime adaptation. The announcement was made on Friday, according to MyAnimeList News.
The manga comes from Sekina Aoi, with illustrations by Ryou Tsuzura. Aoi is also credited with Gamers!, so if you enjoy romance stories built around awkward timing, messy feelings, and characters absolutely overthinking everything, this title is probably worth putting on your radar.
To mark the anime announcement, Tsuzura also drew a commemorative illustration.
What is My Crush’s Crush?
The source describes My Crush’s Crush as a romantic comedy manga. It began publication in Young Animal Zero magazine in November 2022.
The series has been running steadily since then under Hakusensha. Its sixth volume was released on February 27, while the seventh volume is scheduled to launch on August 28.
There is also an English-language connection: Yen Press has licensed the manga in English, based on the source information. That matters because it gives non-Japanese readers a more official route into the story, though the source text does not include release timing or regional details.
Anime details are still light
For now, this is very much an early announcement.
The source confirms that a TV anime adaptation is happening, but it does not list a studio, director, voice cast, trailer, broadcast season, streaming platform, or episode count.
So yeah, don’t start planning watch parties yet, bro. This is the “it exists” stage, not the full rollout stage.
Still, for anime fans who follow manga adaptations early, this is the moment to start paying attention. Rom-com titles often build hype once the main cast, character visuals, and first promo video drop, especially if the chemistry looks strong.
Why Malaysia and SEA anime fans should care
Analysis / inference: For Malaysian and SEA readers, the main thing here is discovery. The source does not mention any Malaysia-specific screening, streaming availability, release date, or local licensing news, so we are not claiming any of that.
But anime fans here are already used to tracking adaptations before they hit streaming platforms. If My Crush’s Crush gets a solid production team and the comedy lands, it could become one of those seasonal romance titles that quietly takes over anime TikTok, Discord watchlists, and weekly group chats.
The title itself has that instantly understandable hook: liking someone who likes someone else. Simple, painful, and very anime. If the adaptation leans into the emotional awkwardness without becoming too melodramatic, this could be a fun one for viewers who enjoy relationship misunderstandings, confession anxiety, and characters making life harder than it needs to be.
What to watch for next
The next useful update will likely be the production info: studio, key visual, cast, staff, and premiere window. Until then, manga readers can keep an eye on the print side, with volume seven scheduled for August 28.
For now, My Crush’s Crush joins the growing list of romance manga getting the anime treatment — and this one has enough messy-feelings potential to be worth tracking.
