Aoharu Once More anime reveals cast and January 2027 debut
The light anime adaptation of Toworu Miyata's manga will premiere on TV Tokyo in January 2027 with Tasuku Kaito and Kazuki Ura leading the cast.
Aoharu Once More (アオハル・ワンスモア), the light anime adaptation of Toworu Miyata's boys-love manga, will premiere in January 2027 on TV Tokyo, with Tasuku Kaito and Kazuki Ura leading the cast. The official website also released the first teaser PV, giving the project its clearest look yet.1
The announcement confirms Kaito as Hayato Kobayashi and Ura as Ritsu Onishi. It also names Rikako Machida as director, Morrigan (WAVE) as music composer, Tadashi Jinbo as sound director, and Toshiya Wada as sound-effects artist. IMAGICA Infos and Imageworks Studio are handling animation production.1
The January 2027 window is all the official announcement gives us: there is no exact broadcast date yet, and TV Tokyo is the only broadcaster named. Anime News Network independently corroborates the cast, staff additions and timing, while noting that the series adapts Miyata's manga.2
The official site describes a story about Hayato and Ritsu, whose unresolved feelings from high school resurface after they meet again as adults. The teaser presents the pair together and establishes the project's romantic tone without revealing a more specific episode schedule.1
The official BALLOON project channel hosts the teaser PV, which is embedded below for readers who want to see the newly announced cast in action.3
Our opinion
This is a useful announcement because it gives Aoharu Once More a firm broadcast month, a named broadcaster and a lead cast rather than simply confirming another adaptation. The January window is still broad, so the next meaningful update will be the exact premiere date and whether an English-language distributor follows. Until then, the official teaser is the best indication of what this unusually compact light-anime format is aiming for.
