The Person My Crush Likes Gets a TV Anime

A new romantic comedy is officially making the jump from manga to television.

The Person My Crush Likes (Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito) has been confirmed as a TV anime adaptation, giving fans of Sekina Aoi's manga another romance series to watch for.

The announcement was reported on August 28, 2026, with more information about the anime expected to be revealed in the future.

The Love Triangle Is the Problem

The basic setup sounds simple until the characters discover one very awkward fact.

The protagonist has feelings for someone.

Unfortunately, the person they like already has feelings for someone else.

And that person turns out to be connected to the protagonist in a way that makes the situation even more complicated.

Rather than following a straightforward romance where the main character simply tries to win their crush, the series builds its story around misunderstandings, unrequited feelings and the painful realization that your crush may be interested in somebody else.

Why the Premise Works

Love triangles aren't exactly new in anime, but the appeal of this story comes from how naturally the characters' feelings collide.

Nobody necessarily has to be a villain.

The characters can genuinely care about each other while still causing emotional damage simply because their feelings don't line up.

That creates plenty of opportunities for awkward encounters, jealousy and unexpected romantic developments.

For a romantic comedy, that can be a very effective combination.

A New Romance to Watch

The announcement comes at a time when romance anime continue to attract a large audience, particularly stories that mix comedy with more complicated relationship dynamics.

The Person My Crush Likes fits directly into that space.

Instead of making the romance purely about whether two people will get together, the story asks a more uncomfortable question:

What happens when the person you love loves somebody else?

That question gives the series plenty of room for both comedy and emotional drama.

More Anime Details Are Coming

The TV anime has now been officially announced, but additional details about the production and broadcast are still being revealed.

More information about the release date, studio, staff, cast and streaming availability is expected as the adaptation progresses.

For now, fans of romantic comedies have another upcoming series to add to their watchlist.
