The anime adaptation of Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love has a January 2027 premiere set and a growing supporting cast, with the latest October 2026 announcement naming four more actors. Yen Press holds the English manga license and its first volume is due October 13.
The television anime of Ayune Araragi's Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love was announced with a teaser trailer on May 22, 2026, confirming a January 2027 broadcast window, the main cast, and key staff. Riko Akechi voices the protagonist Isshiki Rinna Milford, an elite police inspector who has never experienced romantic love, and Shuichiro Umeda plays Meishi Rokutanda, a kind but scatterbrained detective who becomes her pseudo-boyfriend. Kazuya Komai directs at Sakura Create, with Deko Akao on series composition and Shohei Hamaguchi designing the characters.
Kadokawa then revealed four more cast members on October 4, 2026: Haruki Ishiya as Danjuro Iwata, Takuma Nagatsuka as Masato Nakatani, Hiiro Ishibashi as Chikai Matsumoto, and Yu Wakui as Rena Yamakawa. The January 2027 premiere remains unchanged across both announcements.
The source manga launched in 2016 as Rinna Keibu wa Kokyu ga Dekinai, relaunched in Kadokawa's Monthly Shonen Ace in 2020, and has nine compiled volumes out, with a tenth due May 25, 2026. Yen Press licensed it for English release as Isshiki-san Wants to Know About Love, aligning the manga's title with the anime ahead of the first volume's October 13 release.
