Nene Azuki's manga Mii-chan and Miss Yamada is getting an anime adaptation. Flag Pictures announced the project on Sunday, with a premiere set for 2027. The manga launched in September 2024 on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket and will end with its seventh volume in late summer, giving the anime a complete story to adapt from the start. Seven Seas will publish the English version starting December 8.
The announcement drew criticism, prompting the production committee to issue a statement just over a day later. The statement acknowledged the backlash and said the committee will consult experts to avoid prejudice and misunderstanding, including appropriate ratings and disclaimers. The criticism came from animator Terumi Nishii and manga creator Daiki Kasiwa, who voiced concerns that the adaptation could harm people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
The committee's response directly addresses those concerns, promising expert consultation and disclaimers. As of the most recent story, the anime remains scheduled for 2027, and the manga is nearing its conclusion.
