WWWave Corporation‘s anime streaming platform OceanVeil announced on Monday that the English dub of the television anime of Okumaro‘s Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor, I’m Gonna Click Away On The Girls! (Mouse Cursor de Genjitsu o Sōsa Dekiru Yō ni Natta node, Onna no Ko o Ippai Click Shima~su, or Click Me All Over) manga will debut on the service on October 4 alongside the Japanese television premiere.

The anime is part of the AnimeFesta programming block in Japan. The anime will debut on television in Japan on October 4 at 25:00 (effectively October 5 at 1:00 a.m.) on Tokyo MX and BS11.

OceanVeil describes Now That I Can Control Reality With A Mouse Cursor, I’m Gonna Click Away On The Girls! anime’s story:

Takumi, an ordinary otaku, is sitting in IT class when he notices something impossible: his computer mouse cursor has sprung right out of the screen and into the real world! Panicked, he asks his bossy childhood friend Mone if she can see it, but she just brushes him off. Realizing the cursor is completely invisible to others and under his control, Takumi decides to test it out by slipping it between the gaps in Mone’s clothes and clicking away!

As Mone writhes from the unfamiliar sensation, Takumi uncovers a floating real-life context menu featuring incredible controls like “Cut”, “Paste”, “Double Sensitivity Mode”, and even “The Real Deal” (if he can earn enough Click Points!). But keeping his new powers a secret isn’t easy. Between accidental wardrobe malfunctions caused by ‘Cut’, mysterious classmates pursuing him, and art club presidents who might actually see the cursor, Takumi’s clicking spree is about to set off a wild, slapstick chain reaction!

Kazuya Nakamura is the anime’s planning and executive producer, Reiga Goto is the producer, Studio Hōkiboshi is producing the anime, and Suiseisha is credited for production. Makoto Sokuza is the director, Eeyo Kurosaki is overseeing the series scripts, Minakawa Akapiv is the character designer, and Harimasu is the chief animation director.

Other staff members include:

Okumaro began serializing the manga on the ComicFesta service in March 2024, and Suiseisha published the manga’s fourth volume on September 18. Coolmic is publishing the manga in English under the title Click Me All Over.
