The upcoming romantic comedy anime Osananajimi to wa Love Comedy ni Naranai—also known by its English title No More Love With the Girls—has officially been announced to premiere in January 2026, as part of the Winter 2026 anime lineup. The series will be animated by Tezuka Productions, a studio well-known for its long history in the anime industry, having produced titles such as Astro Boy, The Quintessential Quintuplets, and Kanojo mo Kanojo.
Adapted from the light novel of the same name, Osananajimi to wa Love Comedy ni Naranai explores the classic yet ever-entertaining theme of unrequited love and complicated relationships between childhood friends. The story centers on a high school boy surrounded by the girls he grew up with—each with their own feelings and expectations—leading to a whirlwind of misunderstandings, awkward confessions, and heartfelt moments. The title itself humorously suggests that “love comedies with childhood friends never work,” yet the narrative promises to challenge that very idea through its emotional storytelling and character growth.
Fans are particularly excited to see how Tezuka Productions will adapt the light novel’s charming humor and emotional balance into animation. Known for their ability to blend expressive character acting with clean, nostalgic visuals, the studio’s involvement raises expectations for a faithful and beautifully crafted adaptation.
While detailed information such as the cast, main staff, and theme song artists has yet to be revealed, early promotional visuals and teasers hint at a refreshing tone—combining romantic tension, slice-of-life moments, and comedic timing that appeals to both longtime rom-com fans and new viewers alike.
With its engaging premise and production by a respected studio, Osananajimi to wa Love Comedy ni Naranai is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated romantic comedies of early 2026. As the Winter 2026 season approaches, audiences can look forward to a story that redefines what it means to fall in love with someone who’s been by your side all along.
