On Wednesday, Coamix unveiled an anime adaptation of Norishiro-chan and Sakana Uozumi’s Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? (Otaku ni Yasashii Gal wa inai!?), premiering in 2026.
The manga is licensed by Yen Press, and the company portrays the series as following:
“Meet Takuya Seo, an otaku who sits behind the popular gals in class, Ijichi and Amane. Since they’re people from different “castes,” you wouldn’t expect them to have much in common. But when their worlds collide over a borrowed eraser, Takuya slips up about his favorite anime, and Amane…is rather quick to correct him. She says she’s not a fan, but her familiarity with the series suggests otherwise. Could she be…a fellow geek?!”
Gals Can’t Be Kind to Otaku!? is a manga series from Japan, penned by Norishiro-chan and brought to life through the artwork of Sakana Uozumi. The story kicked off its run in the pages of Coamix’s seinen title Monthly Comic Zenon starting in August 2021.
