A TV anime adaptation of Kyū Takahata and Yūji Kaba’s Now That We Draw manga has been announced on Friday. The anime will be directed by Shunsuke Ishikawa at ROLL2, the studio behind last years Love Is Indivisible by Twins. The first promotional video can be viewed below.
Deko Akao will be writing the script while Hiromi Nakagawa will serve as character designer. Additionally, Ayumu Murase has been cast as Yūki Uehara and Sayumi Suzushiro has been cast as Niina Miyamoto. To celebrate the announcement, Kaba has unveiled a special illustration.
The manga began serialization in February 2023 before Hakusensha published its first volume the following August. The sixth volume will be released next week. Seven Seas Entertainment licenses the series in English and will release the fourth volume in February 2026.
Dweeby high schooler Uehara Yuuki has created the perfect romantic comedy heroine—she’s bashful, airheaded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara’s dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as trite and lacking realism, it sends Uehara into a spiral of despair that pushes him into the path of his bubbly, gorgeous classmate, Miyamoto Niina—an aspiring manga artist herself!
