The anime was announced in front of the Animate Ikebukuro main store on Saturday, featuring the character “Pugtaro” from the manga. The mascot will make another appearance on Sunday in front of the store.
The manga centers on Mitsutaka Oji, a 40-year-old man who by all appearances is attractive and cool and is excellent at his job. However, he has a secret: he absolutely loves small and cute things. The comedy manga follows his everyday life.
Tsutomu launched the manga on Flex Comics‘ Comic Polis service in July 2017. Flex Comics released the 11th compiled volume on February 14.
The manga previously inspired a live-action television adaptation in 2020.
