Hirayasumi TV Anime Confirms January 2027 Premiere, Main Visual and Cast
A January 2027 NHK General TV slot gives Keigo Shinzo's manga a national broadcast berth after an award run and a live-action drama already aired in the same network's late-night slot, so the anime is the next step in NHK's own handling of the property.

The Hirayasumi TV anime will air on NHK General TV starting January 2027. Production +h. handles animation, and Yuma Uchida plays Hiroto Ikuta, with Mayu Takahashi as Natsumi Kobayashi and Rikako Aikawa as Hanae Wada. A main visual and teaser PV were released alongside the cast announcement. The manga by Keigo Shinzo has run in Weekly Big Comic Spirits since April 2021 and has 1.7 million copies in circulation.
The teaser PV is the first animation footage released for the adaptation, and it is also where the three character voices are heard for the first time. It is set against the Asagaya townscape and follows Hiroto and Hanae's exchanges and Natsumi's move to Tokyo. The main visual shows Hiroto and Natsumi in a daily-life scene at the single-story house, with Hiroto's friend Hideki and Natsumi's classmate Akari watching from the veranda and the estate agent Yomogi passing by. Production +h. is credited with animation production.
