An anime adaptation was announced for Eri Ejima’s Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games manga—known in Japan as Tai Ari Deshita. Ojou-sama wa Kakutou Game Nante Shinai—back in 2021, and now a release window has been penciled in. According to the official website and social accounts, the adaptation is now set to premiere sometime in 2025.
That’s a fairly wide release window, to be fair, but at least a new teaser visual is here along with more info on the main cast.
Visual:
Ikumi Hasegawa voices Aya Mitsuki
Kana Ichinose voices Mio Yorue
Ejima’s manga has been running in Monthly Comic Flapper since January 2020, and Seven Seas Entertainment publishes it in English. Here’s the official synopsis:
Kuromi Girls’ Academy is a refined, elegant school that expects the very best in deportment from its young ladies. Aya got into this peerless rich-girls’ institution on a scholarship, and hopes to grow as lovely as her fellow student and idol Shirayui. But Shirayui hides a terrible secret: she’s a trash-talking, combo-chaining, newbie-stomping, ruthless hardcore gamer! Could a mutual indulgence in no-holds-barred video game combat grow into a deeper rapport between these two girls?
