The manga series "Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito" by author Sekina Aoi and artist Ryo Tsuzura is receiving a TV anime adaptation. This was announced on August 28, 2026; a start date, cast, and the responsible studio have not yet been determined.
The romantic comedy tells of three high school students whose secret crushes become tangled in a seemingly endless cycle. Protagonist Sora Akizuki confesses his long-held feelings to his underclassman Miya Fuwa but is rejected: Miya, as Sora learns through her sister Mahiru, has fallen for someone else—the president of the mysterious "Clinical Trials Club." When Sora visits the dubious club to meet the person his beloved loves, it turns out that the expected "Suzukaze-senpai" is a woman. And Asahi Suzukaze has long had her eye on someone—without Sora realizing that he himself is the object of her secret affection. Under the pretext that she must vacate the clubroom if no new members are found, she persuades Sora to join. Thus begins a web of misunderstandings and comedic entanglements in which all three circle around each other.
The source material has been serialized since November 2022 in Hakusensha's Young Animal Zero magazine, which is published on the 9th of every odd-numbered month. Right on time for the announcement, the seventh volume went on sale in Japan on August 28, 2026. Author Sekina Aoi is known to a broad audience through series such as "Gamers!", "Seitokai no Ichi" ("Student Council's Discretion"), and "Asobi no Kankei"; Ryo Tsuzura is responsible for the artwork of the series.
To mark the announcement, Tsuzura released a congratulatory illustration featuring Sora, Miya, and Asahi, capturing the turbulent dynamic among the three characters. Aoi expressed surprise in a statement that the "Clinical Trials Club" will now be seen in motion, and thanked everyone involved. He said he is repeatedly deeply impressed by the scripts, materials, and voice recording sessions—but that even the silliest dialogues from the source material are fully realized makes him, as an author, regularly blush. That very fact demonstrates how faithfully the production works. He hopes the team will continue to make him squirm with embarrassment on the floor with the series.
Internationally, the series is also being closely followed: Yen Press has licensed the English-language edition under the title "My Crush's Crush," which also corresponds to the official English translation of the series name. Further details about the anime adaptation, such as the production company or broadcast period, have not yet been announced.
