The manga recently began simulpub distribution from Kodansha Comics through Amazon and ComiXology as well as bringing it out in print with five volumes so far.
The anime adaptation doesn’t have a season set at this point but it was revealed that Hiroshi Ishiodori will be directing based on series composition from Michiko Yokote. Kazuhiko Tamura is on board as the character designer while Mina Oosawa will be serving as the chief animation director. Brains Base will be handling the animation for it.
Plot concept: Kae is a normal, everyday high school girl with a secret – she’s a fujoshi, a fan of yaoi manga, who has fantasies about the boys in her school making out with each other. When the death of her favorite character causes stress-induced rapid weight loss, she becomes the object of those same boys’ affections. What can she do when she’d rather they kissed each other instead of her?
