The anime debuted on Tokyo MX on April 7 at 11:30 p.m. JST, before airing later that evening on Kansai TV. The anime started airing on BS Asahi on April 10. Crunchyroll streams the anime as it airs.

The anime stars:

Hideki Tachibana (Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? franchise, Armed Girl’s Machiavellism) is directing the anime at CONNECT. Keiichirō Ōchi (The Angel Next Door Spoils Me Rotten, The Quintessential Quintuplets) is both overseeing and writing the series scripts, and Shoko Takimoto (Armed Girl’s Machiavellism, Death March to The Parallel World Rhapsody) is designing the characters.

reGretGirl performs the opening theme song “Submarine Youth,” and Koresawa performs the ending theme song “Zutto Ichiban ni Shite ne.”

The anime was originally announced in 2023.

Yen Press is publishing the manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:

Maki Maehara is always on his own at school. He has no friends or hobbies others share, and he doesn’t expect the upcoming academic year to be any different, even surrounded by new faces. And six months later, it seems like he was right—until he runs into his popular classmate Umi Asanagi at a video store! Always at the center of attention and called the “second prettiest in class” by the boys, Asanagi’s from a totally different world. But it turns out the two have more overlapping interests than just the B-grade movies they came to check out…and Asanagi asks Maehara to be her friend!

Takata launched the story on Kadokawa‘s Kakuyomu website in November 2020, and it won a special prize in the romantic comedy division of the 6th Kakuyomu Web Novel Contest. Kadokawa‘s Sneaker Bunko imprint began publishing the novel series in print in December 2021. Rin Ono launched a manga adaptation on Kadokawa‘s Comic Alive+ website in 2022.

The story centers on high school girl Suzuka Mimori, who works as a shrine maiden at her family’s shrine. One day, she gets caught up in a mysterious vortex and is transported to another world. There, she receives a letter from the enshrined deity. The god, who was once worshipped as a divine beast but is now forgotten, wants Suzuka to serve as a shrine maiden and gather worshippers again.

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 company revealed the English dub cast:

The dub staff includes:

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. The anime began streaming in Japan earlier on AnimeFesta starting on September 11. OceanVeil also began streaming the anime on the same day.

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.
