The series will premiere on the Tokyo MX channel on April 6 at 25:20 (effectively April 7 at 1:20 a.m.). The show will stream on DMM TV and TVer in Japan.
The series stars Atsuki Kashio as Kaji and Yū Miyazaki as Fukami.
Emiko Shirai is directing the series, and Nao Shioji is writing the script.
Matsumoto launched the manga on WWWave Corporation’s ComicFesta website in 2022. Suiseisha published the manga’s fourth compiled book volume on January 16. Coolmic distributes the manga in English. Online manga service Renta! also publishes the manga.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga in November, and will release the first volume in September as part of its BL label. The company describes the story:
Kaji is perfect. He’s dependable, friendly, smart, and always helping others out with a smile on his face. But this perfect boy image is just that—a facade! In reality, Kaji is quick to judge others, especially if they’re potential dates, and he’s seeking someone worthy of his perfection. But when he’s forced to spend the night with the sloppy and quiet IT guy, Fukami, he quickly learns there’s more to someone than first impressions! Beneath the baggy clothes and glasses is a man who is surprisingly beautiful and totally Kaji’s type. But when it comes to mixing business with pleasure, can Kaji really afford to put his perceived personality at risk? If Fukami keeps making those faces, then… yes!
The manga inspired an AnimeFesta anime adaptation that premiered on Japanese television in April 2025. The OceanVeil service streamed the anime starting in March 2025, and also streamed an English dub produced by Ascendent Animation.
