by Two popular manga featured in Young Animal ZERO have officially received TV anime adaptations.
Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san by Maruyono Kamome and Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito by Sekina Aoi and Ryo Tsuzura are both getting anime adaptations. The major announcement was revealed in the October 1 issue of Young Animal ZERO, which went on sale in Japan on September 9, 2026.
The two titles also share the spotlight on the magazine’s cover and receive color pages in the latest issue. The announcement gives fans their first major confirmation that both manga will move from the printed page to television animation. However, specific broadcast dates, animation studios, staff, and cast details have not yet been announced.
The announcement is particularly significant for Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san, a comedy manga that has already surpassed 1 million copies in circulation, while Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito has developed a following through its complicated and bittersweet love triangle.
Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san Gets a TV Anime
Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san is a gourmet comedy manga created by Maruyono Kamome.
The story follows Mikoto Mochizuki, a 21-year-old office worker whose stress and hunger can lead to spectacular eating sessions.
Rather than presenting food as an ordinary part of daily life, the manga turns Mochizuki’s intense appetite into the central source of its comedy. When she reaches her limit, she can suddenly eat enormous amounts of rich and heavy food, producing the series’ distinctive “forbidden gourmet gag” style.
The manga has already surpassed 1 million copies in circulation, making the TV anime announcement an important milestone for the series.
For readers who have never encountered the manga, the basic premise is easy to understand: Mochizuki has a stressful working life, and food becomes one of her favorite ways to deal with that stress.
However, her meals are anything but small.
Mochizuki’s Extreme Food Adventures
One of the main attractions of Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san is the variety of food featured throughout the story.
Mochizuki has been shown enjoying dishes such as abura soba, sara udon, mentaiko rice, tonkotsu ramen, doria, and many other filling foods.
The comedy comes from the contrast between the ordinary image of a young office worker and Mochizuki’s extraordinary appetite.
A normal workday can quickly turn into a massive eating session.
The series also uses food to explore the character’s emotions. Work-related stress, exhaustion, hunger, and cravings often influence Mochizuki’s decisions, making the food scenes both humorous and surprisingly relatable.
This combination of workplace comedy and exaggerated food culture could make the manga particularly suitable for anime adaptation.
Latest Mochizuki-san Chapter Features a Broken Air Conditioner
The new October 1 issue of Young Animal ZERO includes the latest chapter of Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san.
This time, Mochizuki finds herself in a major predicament when the air conditioner in her home breaks down.
For someone who loves eating large amounts of food, losing access to a comfortable environment during hot weather creates an entirely new problem.
The magazine’s promotional description jokingly reminds readers to remember their water, salt, and calorie intake, continuing the series’ playful approach to food and everyday health concerns.
The new chapter therefore continues the manga’s established formula of taking an ordinary problem and turning it into an entertaining situation involving Mochizuki’s appetite.
Volume 4 of Mochizuki-san Arrives September 29
Fans of Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san also has another reason to be excited.
Volume 4 of the manga will be released on September 29, 2026, shortly after the new Young Animal ZERO issue.
The fourth volume will include a newly drawn story created specifically for the collected volume, giving readers additional material beyond the regular serialization.
The timing is particularly convenient for fans because the TV anime announcement, new magazine chapter, and fourth manga volume are all arriving within a short period.
As the series moves toward anime production, the release of another manga volume also gives new readers an easy opportunity to catch up with Mochizuki’s story.
Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito Also Gets an Anime.
The second major anime announcement concerns Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito, a bittersweet romantic comedy written by Sekina Aoi and illustrated by Ryo Tsuzura.
The title can be roughly understood as “The Person I Like Likes the Person I Like.”
The complicated title reflects the manga’s central relationship structure.
The story follows three main characters—Sora, Asahi, and Miya—who each have feelings for someone who is connected to another person’s feelings.
Instead of a simple romance where two people gradually fall in love, the series builds its drama around overlapping unrequited love.
Each character has feelings that point in different directions, creating misunderstandings, emotional tension, and bittersweet situations.
This makes the series particularly different from a straightforward romantic comedy.
A Complicated Love Triangle
For beginners, the easiest way to understand Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito is to think of it as a three-person web of unrequited love.
Sora, Asahi, and Miya each have their own feelings, but those feelings do not line up neatly.
As a result, even a seemingly simple conversation can become emotionally complicated.
The manga focuses on the characters’ inner feelings as much as their romantic interactions. Instead of simply asking whether two people will become a couple, the story explores what happens when the person you love has feelings for someone else.
That setup gives the manga its “bittersweet” romantic-comedy tone.
Chapters 46 and 47 Published Together
The October 1 issue of Young Animal ZERO gives Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito an especially prominent position.
The magazine includes Chapters 46 and 47 back-to-back, both with color pages.
The latest story begins with an unexpectedly intense sleepover at Pilvi’s house, setting the stage for a long and potentially complicated night involving the characters’ relationships.
Publishing two chapters together gives readers a substantial new installment while also building excitement around the newly announced anime adaptation.
The manga’s latest Volume 7 is already available, giving new readers a convenient starting point if they want to catch up before more anime information is revealed.
No Anime Cast or Studio Announced Yet
Although both manga have officially been confirmed for TV anime adaptations, fans should note that the September 9 announcement does not reveal all the details.
At present, the exact:
- Premiere date
- Broadcast schedule
- Animation studio
- Director
- Series composition staff
- Character designer
- Main voice cast
- Streaming platforms
have not been announced for either title.
This means the announcement is best understood as an early anime adaptation confirmation.
More information is expected in future announcements as production progresses.
For fans, the next major pieces of information will likely be the animation studios, key staff, promotional visuals, and voice cast.
Young Animal ZERO October 1 Issue
The two anime announcements are part of a much larger issue of Young Animal ZERO.
The October 1, 2026 issue was released in Japan on September 9.
The magazine is published in B5 format and is priced at 850 yen, including tax. Young Animal ZERO is released on the 9th of every odd-numbered month, making it a bimonthly-style special issue associated with the Young Animal manga lineup.
The latest issue features several major titles in addition to the two newly announced anime projects.
Akuen Begins Harada’s First Seinen Magazine Serialization
One of the other highlights of the issue is Akuen, the first serialization in a seinen manga magazine by acclaimed creator Harada.
The series receives the opening color pages in this issue.
Akuen is described as a coming-of-age suspense horror set on the remote island of Kouraijima.
The isolated island setting creates a natural atmosphere for mystery and psychological tension, while the coming-of-age elements suggest that the story will also focus on the characters’ emotional development.
An official X account for Akuen has also been opened.
The campaign surrounding the new series offers readers a chance to win an acrylic keychain featuring artwork used for the opening illustration. The application deadline is September 23, 2026.
The addition of Akuen gives the October issue another major attraction beyond the two anime announcements.
Mathematical Golden Reaches More Than 200,000 Copies
Another manga receiving color pages in the issue is Mathematical Golden (Suugaku Golden) by Tatsuhiko Kuramaru.
The series has surpassed 200,000 copies in circulation and is currently entering an important stage of its story.
The manga is centered on students who devote themselves to mathematics and dream of competing at the highest level.
The current story focuses on the International Mathematical Olympiad, where competition becomes extremely difficult.
The latest issue describes the national-level selection process narrowing 200 participants down to only 20, creating an intense battle among some of the country’s strongest young mathematics competitors.
The latest Volume 9 is also currently available and is priced at 759 yen including tax.
For readers who enjoy competition manga but want something different from traditional sports stories, Mathematical Golden offers a fascinating alternative by turning mathematics into the central form of competition.
Why These Anime Announcements Matter
The anime adaptations of Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san and Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito are notable because the two manga offer completely different genres.
Mochizuki-san is built around food, workplace stress, exaggerated appetite, and comedy.
Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito, on the other hand, focuses on romance, misunderstandings, unrequited feelings, and emotional relationships.
Putting both titles on the same Young Animal ZERO cover highlights the variety of stories currently being published by the magazine.
It also gives both manga a major promotional boost at the same time.
What New Anime Fans Should Know
If you are new to either series, there is no need to know the manga beforehand.
Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san is likely to appeal to viewers who enjoy food anime, workplace comedy, slice-of-life stories, and exaggerated gag humor.
Meanwhile, Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito should appeal to viewers who enjoy romantic comedies, love triangles, emotional misunderstandings, and character-driven stories.
Because both projects are still in the early announcement stage, newcomers have plenty of time to explore the manga before the anime premieres.
The release of Mochizuki-san Volume 4 and the availability of Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito Volume 7 make this an especially good time for readers to discover both series.
The September 9, 2026 issue of Young Animal ZERO has delivered a major update for manga and anime fans, with Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san and Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito have been officially confirmed to receive TV anime adaptations.
For Mochizuki-san, the announcement arrives after the manga surpassed 1 million copies in circulation, making the anime adaptation a major new step for the popular gourmet gag series. The latest chapter also puts Mochizuki in an unusual situation after her air conditioner breaks down, while Volume 4 is scheduled to arrive on September 29 with an exclusive newly drawn episode.
For Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito, the anime announcement comes alongside Chapters 46 and 47, which are published consecutively with color pages. The manga’s complicated web of unrequited love should give the anime plenty of opportunities for emotional and comedic moments.
The same issue also introduces Akuen, Harada’s first serialization in a seinen magazine, and features Mathematical Golden, which has surpassed 200,000 copies in circulation and is entering a major International Mathematical Olympiad storyline.
For now, fans will have to wait for further announcements about the two new anime adaptations. The release dates, studios, staff, voice casts, and streaming information remain unconfirmed, but the official green light is already enough to make both titles worth watching.
As more production information arrives, Dokagui Daisuki! Mochizuki-san and Boku no Suki na Hito ga Suki na Hito could become two of the more interesting new manga-to-anime adaptations to follow.
