 The official website for the Given manga announced on Wednesday that the special edition version of the seventh volume will bundle an original video animation (OVA). Preorders for the special edition volume are open on the official website until August 29, and it will be released on December 1.The OVA, subtitled Uragawa no Sonzai, will tell an "other side" story centered on Mafuyu Satou and Ritsuka Uenoyama that wasn't featured in the Given movie. Shougo Yano (Mafuyu) and Yuuma Uchida (Ritsuka) are reprising their roles from the television anime and movie, as are Masatomo Nakazawa and Takuya Eguchi as Haruki Nakayama and Akihiko Kaji, respectively. Akiyo Oohashi (Umibe no Étranger) is replacing Hikaru Yamaguchi (Given, Given Movie) at Lerche. Yuniko Ayana (Hori-san to Miyamura-kun) returns to handle the series composition. A live-action television adaptation was revealed alongside the OVA announcement. The six-episode series will be released on FOD (Fuji TV on Demand) on July 17. Natsuki Kizu began serializing the BL manga in Cheri+ in April 2013. Shinshokan published the sixth compiled volume in August 2020. Viz Media licensed the manga under its SuBLime imprint in August 2019 and published the first English volume in February 2020. The fifth volume was released this February. Lerche produced the television anime adaptation that aired on Fuji TV's noitaminA programming block during the Summer 2019 season. The studio's film adaptation was released in theaters in Japan last August. Source: Comic Natalie Given: Uragawa no Sonzai on MAL |

| Yay!!!!!!!!! YAY (;´༎ຶٹ༎ຶ`) so they will adapt the chapters where Uenoyama learns more about Yuki? If that’s the case we’ll see more of Hiiragi & Shizu too & wouldn’t that lead up nicely to another OVA featuring their story. I’m getting too far ahead of myself. So excited!!♡ |
 ꕤ but i’ll probably remember over and over again you were there and everyone else was there — the day we all searched for just one thing ꕤ |
| i'd like to thank not only god but also jesus for this!!!!!!! all the scenes cut out for the movie are not only cute as fuck but necessary if the anime is ever gonna adapt more of the manga. (also, whole series on bluray in english when???) |
| Oh my gawd I am so excited for more Given content. Even though it is a measly OVA it gives me hope of more in the future. |
  ♡ Harder Daddy ♡ |
| The panels removed from the movie will be animated? aka more of Ue and Mafuyu? Us manga readers will rejoice!! I can't believe this, I'm SO excited!!!!!! |
| I sometimes forget to finish my sentences. |
| STOP STOPPP IT!!! I’m so happy. I just got to watching the movie and I CRIED! Can’t wait for more ❤️ |
 |
| OH MY GOSH! IS THIS A DREAM?? THIS IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO BEAR RN! IM SO HAPPY YAYYYY❤️❤️❤️❤️ |
 |
| OH MY GOD.... YES THANK GOD T____T♡ I'm sooo excited!! |
 |
| thank god, I was looking forward to the mafuyama scenes that were cut from the movie! |
| So we'll get more mafuyama moments? I'm ready for that! ♡ |
| OMGG YES TWT *happy noises* |
 -English is not my national language- |

| All around great news. I just hope the live action series is good and not too timid. Japanese BL live action is often so timid and awkward. |
| Amazing news!! I like Given so much! Haven't seen movie yet. Wait for OVA! |
 |
| ayyy more Given is never a bad thing though I do hope this new director change is only for the OVA and not for the future of the series. I think the current director did a great job with Given + movie so it would be a shame to replace her |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
| whoaaahhhhhhh i'm excited! i can't get enough given content ( ；∀；) |
物事は良くなりますか ？ |

I think the current director did a great job with Given + movie so it would be a shame to replace her I agree. It is amazing series! I think she was replaced due to ilness of some sort or personal affairs. |
|
| As someone who didn't like the movie, but enjoyed the series, this OVA may be half decent. I honestly didn't care for the music in Given, but I look forward to seeing more romance between Uenoyama and Mafuyu. |
 |
| Yay for more Given! I wonder if that's going to be the last thing adapted or there's a chance for a second season in the future. |
