Viral "Green Yuri" Manga 'The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't a Guy at All' Anime Adaptation Announced

Sumiko Arai’s popular Yuri manga The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn’t a Guy at All (Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko Janakatta) is getting an anime adaptation. The news broke in Japan on Thursday, when the third collected Japanese volume, which included the anime's announcement, was released.

The manga's wrap-around packet band, as shown in the picture below from the official Animate AL. PLAZA X (formerly Twitter) account showcases the animation decision. No information on the anime's staff or release timeframe has been publicly announced at the time of writing.

Mangaka Sumiko Arai posted in response to the news on X, writing, "It’s so so touching and I’m so happy to be able to share the news with you guys... I hope it becomes something that’s loved worldwide by such a diverse & lovely audience like you guys. Thank you for always being a huge support, you made this happen!"

The manga, which started its weekly run on X in 2022, follows gyaru Aya Oosawa, who develops a crush on the alt clerk at the CD shop she frequents, unaware that it is her female classmate, Mitsuki Koga. Yen Press further describes the series:

"who was playful and loved the beach"

It’s just heartbreaking to think there’s a chance he might never get to hang out at the beach with his friends again.

It’s been 4 months.

i'm kinda buzzed and playing Lana so you know what time it is

Whenever my aunt springs her insane superstitious/religious cures on me I specifically remember when I was 17 and she got me exorcised. The priest was like "I don't think she's possessed" and she insisted "well there's something wrong with her, she's always [symptoms of depression] so..."

And the guy said some verses and touched my head and stuff then said I should drink only holy water for an entire week. Which wasn't hard to do, but my fav part of this whole experience was me saying I want to eat instant noodles and my aunt going "I'll make them for you. With the holy water he gave us." And then I had holy instant noodles

Not heresy.

It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.
