Studio Shin-Ei Animation confirmed that BokuYaba Season 3 will premiere in April 2027, pairing the news with a new teaser promo video and visual for the romantic comedy TV anime [4]. The update arrived with the Japanese debut of the 14th and final volume of Norio Sakurai’s manga, which concluded its magazine run earlier in the autumn [1].
Teaser Trailer Previews April 2027 Release
The anime team revealed the April 2027 air date on the official website, confirming that the new TV season continues the story after Kyotaro and Anna became a couple during the final moments of Season 2. A new teaser visual accompanied that announcement. It shows Kyotaro and Anna seated together on park swings against a sunset sky, carrying the Japanese tagline “新しい僕の世界が始まる” (“A new world of mine begins”) to preview their life as partners. Official production notes state that the artwork highlights the altered dynamic between the two students after their middle school confession [4].
The accompanying teaser promo video on YouTube shows how daily life shifts around the two students [5]. Published by tv asahi animation, the preview displays comedic classroom exchanges with classmates like Moeko Sekine and home scenes featuring Kyotaro’s older sister Kana Ichikawa and her bandmate. Anna ends the clip with a direct translated confession: “Kyotaro-kun and I are dating!”. The line sets the humorous tone for their public school life [4].
Broadcasters haven’t yet shared the exact weekly airtime or launch day for the spring run [1]. While earlier anime reveals like the Charisma TV debut targeted winter slots, this team chose a longer preparation window. That choice gives Shin-Ei Animation over a year of production time before TV airings begin. Fans can follow the official project channels for upcoming schedule updates as production progresses toward spring 2027 [4].
BokuYaba Season 3 Retains Core Production Team
Key creative leaders from earlier seasons are returning to make BokuYaba Season 3 at Shin-Ei Animation. Hiroaki Akagi, who directed both Season 1 and Season 2, serves as chief director for the new run, while Dali Chen takes the director chair after previously helming the recap film The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie under Akagi’s lead [1]. The arrangement keeps the main creative setup unchanged [3]. Their continued collaboration ensures that the visual style and story rhythm stay true to Norio Sakurai’s original manga [1].
Other key departments also retain their staff for the third season. Jukki Hanada returns to oversee series composition and write the scripts, reprising the role he held over the first twenty-five TV episodes. Character designer Masato Katsumata returns to adapt Sakurai’s drawings for animation, while composer Kensuke Ushio writes the music score. In the voice cast, Shun Horie returns as Kyotaro Ichikawa and Hina Yomiya plays Anna Yamada, filling the two lead roles they have voiced since the anime started in 2023. Their work across Season 1 and Season 2 established the distinct comedic pacing and acoustic style of the television adaptation [1].
Manga Concludes with Volume 14 Release
The April 2027 anime news arrived on the same day Volume 14 hit Japanese stores on November 6, 2026, serving as the final book release for Norio Sakurai’s original manga [1]. Sakurai started the romantic comedy in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in March 2018 before the series moved to the company’s Champion Cross website in April 2018. When Champion Cross merged with Champion Tap! to form Manga Cross in July 2018, the chapters shifted again. Online releases ran until concluding with Chapter 199 on September 15, 2026. Norio Sakurai’s serialization reached its milestone finale with Chapter 199, bringing Kyotaro and Anna’s junior high school journey to a close after six years of serialization [2].
Akita Shoten reported that the manga passed 7 million copies in circulation. To celebrate the conclusion, the publisher released a special edition of Volume 14 with the regular book. That edition bundles Kyotaro Ichikawa’s 12th Junior High School Graduation Album Art Book, an illustration collection spanning approximately 200 pages of drawings [3]. Seven Seas Entertainment published English Volume 13 on August 25, 2026, and continues localizing chapters toward the finale. The English print run matches the growing international demand for Sakurai’s work [2].
What Drives BokuYaba Season 3 After Prior Success
Planning for BokuYaba Season 3 builds upon steady audience interest generated across two TV runs, a cinema film, and print spin-offs [1]. The first season ran for 12 episodes in Spring 2023 on TV Asahi within the “NUMAnimation” block, while the 13-episode second season in Winter 2024 swept weekly rankings on Anime Corner to claim the platform’s 2024 Anime of the Year title [2]. Marko Jovanovic of Anime Corner said Season 2 achieved the first sweep in the site’s history. It held first place without interruption throughout its broadcast run [3].
The story also expanded into books and theaters. Akita Shoten published a light novel on September 25, 2025, collecting four short stories that showed readers Kyotaro and Anna ten years into their future [3]. In theaters, The Dangers in My Heart: The Movie opened in Japan on February 13, 2026, pairing recut television footage with newly animated scenes set after the second season [1]. Global box office tracking recorded over 170,000 tickets sold in North America, Latin America, Europe, and Asia. The theatrical run confirmed that international audiences remained invested in the characters between television seasons [2].
Streaming Platforms for International Audiences
Streaming platforms carried the anime to international audiences throughout its broadcast history. HIDIVE licensed the TV series for overseas viewers, streaming weekly subtitled episodes during the Japanese airings for both seasons while also producing an English dub for Season 2. The platform also organized US cinema screenings for the recap film in February 2026, offering subtitled showings on February 16 and dubbed screenings on February 18. Netflix streamed Season 1 in other overseas markets. These streaming partnerships helped the romantic comedy reach anime fans across multiple continents while television broadcasts proceeded in Japan [2].
Norio Sakurai’s manga originally drew widespread acclaim when it received a nomination for the Manga Taisho Award in 2020. Seven Seas Entertainment describes the plot as a quirky courtship where Kyotaro, an awkward loner imagining himself as the lead in a thriller, discovers that class idol Anna has unusual habits of her own [1]. Their quiet reading sessions in the school library grew into a romance that defined their middle school years [3]. Season 3 moves that relationship into high school [4].
