A website opened on Saturday to announce that Roji‘s Ao to Midori (Ao and Midori) boys-love manga is getting a live-action television series that will debut on October 5.

The series will star Naoya Kusakawa as Midori Yamamura and Hidekazu Chinen as Ao Hayama.

Nao Nomura (live-action Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko series), Hitomi Kitagawa, and Saki Michimoto are directing the series. Ayumi Shimo (live-action Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko series) is penning the scripts.

The series will air on BS Asahi starting on October 5 at 11:24 p.m., and will air on TV Kanagawa on October 5 at 11:30 p.m. The series will also air on HBC, RKB Mainichi Broadcasting, and CBC TV starting on October 8. The series will stream online first on Lemino starting on October 5 at 10:00 a.m., and will stream on TVer after the BS Asahi broadcasts.

The manga centers on the titular characters Ao and Midori. Ao excels at both sports and academics at his high school, but is so innocent his nickname at school is “baby.” Midori is in love with Ao, but due to various issues he is unable to be honest, and the two have a “mutual unrequited love.” During their high school years, they are both imprisoned by the framework of “normalcy” and are unable to convey their feelings for each other. Throughout the next eight years, as they move on from high school and become working adults, they slowly deepen their relationship.

France Shoin published the first volume in August 2023, and Printemps Shuppan published the second volume on May 28.

Roji‘s Countdown to Yes boys-love manga previously inspired a live-action television series that debuted in January. Animate International publishes the manga in English and also publishes Roji‘s All About My Two Dads manga in English.
