The light anime adaptation of Kaoruko Miyama's boys-love manga Perfect Addiction is set to premiere on July 8 on tvk, with early streaming on d Anime Store, AnimeFesta, and Anime Times. An advanced screening was canceled due to a typhoon. The cast includes Yōhei Azakami as Akihito Kuji and Sōma Saitō as Sae Takatsuki. Akashi Uozumi directs at IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks Studio, with Izumi Tezuka handling series scripts. Yayoi Tateishi is sound director, Midori Narikiyo composes the music, and Kazuya Takahashi is production supervisor.

The project is the second release under the BALLOON label, a boys-love brand launched last year by IMAGICA Infos with Dai Nippon Printing, CYBIRD, and BLUE RIGHTS.
