Mii-chan to Yamada-san Gets Anime Adaptation, 2027 Premiere Set

Nene Azuki's Mii-chan to Yamada-san is heading to animation. The manga adaptation will premiere in 2027, bringing the Kabukicho hostess club story to screen.

The series, set in 2012, centers on the relationship between Yamada-san, a veteran hostess, and Mii-chan, the newcomer. It's a character-driven piece that's clearly resonated — the manga has nearly three million copies in circulation and placed fourth in the male category of the 2026 Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings.

Azuki's work is wrapping up with its seventh volume, so the anime arrives as the source material reaches conclusion. That's a clean narrative window for adaptation, though no production details or studio information have been announced yet.

If you've been waiting on this one, 2027 is your year.
