A July 2025 premiere window has been announced for the Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse anime adaptation. A teaser visual, as well as staff and cast details, were also revealed.
Takashi Naoya (Übel Blatt, Tale of Wedding Rings) is directing the Staple Entertainment production with Matsuo Asami (Übel Blatt) as assistant director. Naoya is also one of the scriptwriters. Among the other staff are Tatsuya Takahashi (Übel Blatt) as series composer and Sachiko Yasuda (My Happy Marriage [co-credit in Season 2]) as character designer.
Meanwhile, the main cast includes Shuichiro Umeda as Naoto Wataru, Yumika Kuno as Satsuki Tachibana, and Yurie Igoma as Yukari Ishihara.
Watari-kun’s ****** Is about to Collapse is based on the manga by Naru Narumi. Kodansha USA describes the premise as:
Naoto Watari has had his share of struggles: his parents died two years ago, and now he and his sister live at his aunt’s house. There, his desire to protect his sister earned him notoriety as “the guy with the sister complex”—which never mattered to him, as his sister always came first. But when Satsuki, a childhood friend-turned-enemy(?), becomes his school mate, Naoto’s ordinary life is thrown into chaos … and Satsuki may just be the beginning.
The manga started in 2014 in Young Ace. It later moved to Monthly Young Magazine. The 16th and final tankoubon volume was released in November 2023.
