An anime television series adaptation produced by Tezuka Productions aired from July to September 2021 on the Animeism programming block. A second season by SynergySP aired from October to December 2023.
Naoya Mukai is a high school student who has recently begun dating his childhood friend Saki Saki. One day, another classmate of his named Nagisa Minase, who is in love with him, decides to confess her feelings to him. Initially, Naoya only saw Nagisa as a friend and showed no romantic feelings for her at all, but after some initial hesitation, he eventually accepts her request to be her boyfriend as well. Naoya decides that he will have both Saki and Nagisa as girlfriends at the same time. As Naoya currently lives alone due to his parents living elsewhere for work, Saki and Nagisa decide to live with him. The series follows their daily school life, as Naoya, Saki, and Nagisa experience difficulties and challenges in maintaining their non-monogamous relationship, which is only worsened by the arrival of Rika Hoshizaki, whose extreme obsession of Naoya constantly terrifies him.
