posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Kadokawa and Wright Film announced on Friday that Jirō Sugiura's My Wife Has No Emotion (Boku no Tsuma wa Kanjō ga nai) manga is inspiring a television anime adaptation that will premiere in July on Tokyo MX, MBS, and BS Asahi.
Sugiura drew the below image to celebrate the anime's announcement.
Toshiyuki Toyonaga voices Takuma (left in image below), while Konomi Inagaki voices Mina (right).
Fumihiro Yoshimura (Kumi to Tulip, Jungle Emperor Leo: Hon-o-ji) is directing the anime at Tezuka Productions. Mitsutaka Hirota (Edens Zero both seasons, Rent-A-Girlfriend all three seasons) is overseeing the series scripts, and Zenjirou Ukulele (chief animation director for Naruto Shippūden) is designing the characters.
Takuma is a single guy who does nothing but go to work and come home. Too tired to do chores, he decides to get a robot to cook and keep house. “Mina-chan” is such a good housekeeper, Takuma jokes that she should become his wife. Mina takes Takuma's joke seriously, and slowly the two start doing more things together, like having a picnic outside. As time goes by, Takuma starts to fall for Mina, but can a human and a robot ever have an equal, loving relationship?
Sugiura launched the manga in Kadokawa's Comic Flapper magazine in 2019. Kadokawa published the manga's seventh compiled book volume in October 2023. Seven Seas Entertainment published the manga's fifth volume in August 2023.
