Produced by animation studio Project No.9, the television anime premiered on July 5. Crunchyroll simulcasts the anime with multiple subtitles.

The anime adapts Pomu's crossdressing romance web manga which originally began under the title Otokonoko ga Kouhai ni Kokuhaku sareru Hanashi on her Twitter account in July 2019 before serializing it on the LINE Manga platform from December 2019 to December 2021. Ichijinsha published the ninth volume on July 25 and will release the 10th volume on October 25.

Webtoon began releasing the manga in English in March 2023. Kodansha USA licensed the manga in English for physical release and will ship the first volume in April 2025.

Synopsis
Much like the other students at her school, first-year student Saki Aoi finds herself captivated by the beauty of her senior on the school board, Makoto Hanaoka. While she worries that Hanaoka would be uncomfortable receiving a confession from another girl, Aoi musters up the courage to tell her anyway. However, Hanaoka's response surprises Aoi for a completely different reason—Hanaoka is actually a cross-dressing boy!

Fully expecting Aoi to be abhorred by this revelation, Hanaoka is shocked to find that she has no issues with it. Though Hanaoka rejects Aoi's request to go out with her—citing his identity and the fact that he has never fallen in love before—Aoi insists that she will become his first love. Taken aback by Aoi's determination, Hanaoka wonders if he can really fall in love with her if he cannot find it in him to truly love himself first. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
