Kuso Miso Technique Manga's Shin Yaranai ka Anime Slated for April 1, 2024

New key visual also debuts for all-ages adaptation from Anime Tokyo

Kuso Miso Technique manga will debut in April 1, 2024. (The announcement adds the parenthetical clause, "*It's for real.") That is the one-year anniversary of the anime's formal announcement, although the staff had planned to complete the anime for early release this fall. Anime Tokyo also presented a new key visual:

The story begins with Masaki Michishita, an ordinary prep school student who is rushing to the bathroom in a park one day. Despite his rush, he spots Takakazu Abe, an exceedingly handsome auto mechanic sitting on a bench. The two exchange looks, and after Abe utters "Yaranai ka" (Shall we do it?), the two begin their encounter. The anime will expand upon the one-shot manga and incorporate elements from Yamakawa's other works, as well as its own unique story elements.

Bungaku Itō and Cyzo are credited for collaborating on the original work.

Anime Tokyo is producing the medium-length original video anime as an all-ages title. The staff started animation production in May.

The anime's crowdfunding campaign sured its 8,000,000 yen ($57,300) on May 17, earning a grand total of 8,680,500 yen ($62,200). The staff have since removed some funds so that its total formally did not meet the planned goal, but the staff reports that the anime is still going forward.

Yamakawa published the original one-shot manga in the second issue of BaraComi, a special manga spinoff from the gay men's magazine Barazoku, in 1987. In the early 2000s, the manga's dialogue line "Yaranai ka" became an Internet meme.
