Jura's ongoing manga My Girlfriend's Friend has a television anime adaptation that premiered in Japan on October 4, 2026 on Tokyo MX, with OceanVeil streaming it from the same day and a separate Complete Deregula version on AnimeFesta.
Across the summer and fall of 2026, Jura's name appears in the coverage almost entirely in connection with one property: the manga My Girlfriend's Friend and its television anime adaptation. The adaptation was first detailed in July, when a teaser promotional video, a second key visual, and additional staff were announced. At that point, the series was set for an October debut, directed by Takashi Ando at the studio Quad, with WWWave Corporation producing under its Deregula label.
By September, the production had a firm date and a fuller shape. The anime was set to premiere on Tokyo MX on October 4 at 25:05, effectively October 5 at 1:05 a.m. The cast grew: Riho Sugiyama was announced as Miyuki and Ryoka Yuzuki as Kaori's mother. Airots performs the opening theme 'Gingira' and Ceui performs the ending theme 'False Love.' The Complete Deregula version was set to stream on AnimeFesta from October 5.
Distribution then split across two versions rather than a single stream. OceanVeil confirmed it would carry the simulcast starting October 4, the same day as the Tokyo MX broadcast, with BS11 airing the series on October 7. The Complete Deregula version runs on AnimeFesta from October 5, with the on-air version also carried on AnimeFesta and other services.
No other Yomimono story in this period reports on Jura directly; the remaining items concern unrelated productions and events. What the coverage establishes for Jura is a completed adaptation pipeline: a confirmed director and studio, a locked premiere date, a named cast expansion, a theme song lineup, and a two-route streaming arrangement.
