Get ready, anime fans! The immensely popular manga 'Otaku ni Yasashii Gal wa Inai!?', known in English as 'Gals Can't Be Kind to Otaku!?', is officially set to receive an anime adaptation, electrifying audiences with its 2026 premiere. Since its debut in Comic Zenon's Monthly magazine in August 2021, this charming school romantic comedy has captivated readers, boasting an impressive circulation of over one million copies by mid-2025. Coamix, its dedicated publisher, has successfully released ten volumes, with the eleventh highly anticipated for October 2025. Adding to the excitement, Yen Press has secured the English licensing rights, with the inaugural English volume scheduled to hit shelves on October 28, 2025, broadening its global appeal.

At its heart, the series introduces us to Takuya Seo, an unassuming otaku whose world playfully collides with the vibrant social scene of his school. His life takes an unexpected turn when he finds himself seated directly behind the school's most popular gals, Ijichi and Amane. What begins as a simple exchange, a borrowed eraser, unravels into a delightful revelation: Takuya, a devoted anime enthusiast, discovers that Amane possesses an astonishing familiarity with his beloved animated world. This intriguing encounter immediately sparks a tantalizing question: could Amane, the quintessential 'gal,' secretly harbor a passion for geek culture? The narrative masterfully navigates the fascinating interplay between social divides and shared passions, weaving a heartwarming tapestry of romantic comedy against the unique backdrop of otaku and gyaru subcultures.
