The live-action series adaptation of Tamifull's How Do We Relationship? is set to premiere on MBS on September 10. The eight-episode series stars Riho Sayashi as Saeko Sawatari and Sakurako Konishi as Miwa Inuzuka. Kana Yamada directs episodes 1, 2, 3, 6, and 8, while Sunhye Hong directs episodes 4, 5, and 7. Miki Matsugasako writes the scripts.

The production announced seven additional cast members on Tuesday, along with a main visual, filling out the band and tavern circles around the lead pair. This suggests the adaptation will cover more of the manga's supporting relationships. The manga itself ended in March 2025, providing a complete source material for the series.

The adaptation brings a completed yuri manga to live-action television with a full production team and an intimacy coordinator, a combination noted as rare for the genre. The series is scheduled to air on MBS starting September 10.
