Walking Home with You, the manga by Mai Matsuda, has a confirmed television anime set to premiere in April 2027 on NTV. The seventh manga volume ships from Futabasha.
The anime adaptation of Mai Matsuda's Walking Home with You moved from an unformed announcement to a fixed television slot. The series was announced in March 2025 with no format or date attached. On Wednesday, the official website confirmed the anime will be a television series and will premiere in April 2027 on the NTV channel. The same update added a teaser visual and a commemorative illustration drawn by Matsuda.
The manga itself continues on a steady schedule. Matsuda launched Walking Home with You in Futabasha's Manga Action magazine in August 2023, and Futabasha will publish the seventh volume on Thursday. Digital publisher Omoi licenses the manga.
The two stories cover different sides of the title's business. One tracks the adaptation's path to a confirmed format and broadcast window, the other places Walking Home with You among Omoi's broader catalog push. In July 2026, Omoi announced four new manga licenses at its Anime Expo panel, including the sequel to Natsume & Natsume, and partnerships with Red String Manga and Square Enix Manga to bring their titles to Omoi Premium. Walking Home with You predates that expansion as one of the publisher's existing licenses, and the anime confirmation now gives Futabasha and NTV a set date for a title whose seventh collected volume arrives this week.
