A new update for the Shota x Oni anime adaptation reveals that it will have the title Ore to Yu ni! (Me and Big Brother Yu!).
A commemorative illustration and comment from the original manga’s creator Miyuki Nakayama were also released. On the name change, Nakayama says that the manga used “easy-to-understand category names” for its title due to it starting as a hobby that was posted on social media. The anime’s different titling came about after considering the effects of using such a title on a larger scale.
The Shota x Oni manga revolves around two childhood friends of different ages, elementary schooler Tsubaki and high schooler Yuu, is in high school. After its social media comic debut, it became one of the launch titles for Square Enix’s Gangan BLiss label in 2021. It has six volumes as of March 2025.
