The upcoming TV anime adaptation of Watari-kun’s ****** Is About to Collapse, based on Naru Narumi’s romantic comedy manga, is set to premiere in July 2025. The series will air in Japan on TOKYO MX, BS NTV, and other networks.
The main cast includes:
- Naoto Watari – voiced by Shuichiro Umeda
- Satsuki Tachibana – voiced by Yumika Yano

The anime is directed by Takashi Naoya at Staple Entertainment, with Matsuo Asami as assistant director. Tetsuya Takahashi is in charge of series composition, while Tetsuya Yamada and Takashi Naoya handle the scripts. Shoko Yasuda is responsible for character design.
The original manga was serialized from 2014 to 2023 in Young Ace (Kadokawa Shoten) and Monthly Young Magazine (Kodansha). Kodansha USA publishes the English version and describes the story as follows:
Naoto Watari has faced many hardships. After losing his parents two years ago, he now lives with his sister at their aunt’s house. His devotion to his sister has earned him a reputation as “the guy with the sister complex,” but he never cared about public opinion—his sister always came first. However, when his childhood friend-turned-rival, Satsuki, suddenly transfers to his school, his peaceful life is upended. And she may not be the only disruption ahead.
