The upcoming anime adaptation of Naruki's Glasses With a Chance of Delinquent has unveiled its first promotional video, signaling an April 2027 television debut. The series is scheduled to air as part of the 'Animazing!!!' programming block on ABC TV and TV Asahi, with digital distribution confirmed for ABEMA. While the broadcast window is set, the specific streaming schedule has yet to be finalized.
Leading the voice cast are Hiroto Shimizu as the former middle-school troublemaker Dan Ichikura, Suzuko Hara as the peace-seeking Hiro Momose, and Yuma Tomochika as Ohana-chan. The production team brings together a trio of veterans—director Makoto Hoshino, scriptwriter Megumi Shimizu, and character designer Ruriko Watanabe—who previously collaborated on projects like Banished from the Hero's Party and The Little Lies We All Tell.
Based on the manga currently serialized in Kodansha's Bessatsu Friend, the story centers on Momose’s struggle to maintain a quiet high school life while navigating the unpredictable personality of her classmate, Ichikura. English-language readers can currently access the source material through Seven Seas Entertainment or digitally via the K MANGA platform.
Why it matters: The reunion of the core creative team from previous lighthearted adaptations suggests a stable production environment, though the long lead time until the 2027 premiere leaves plenty of room for further staff and visual reveals.
