Last Tuesday, an official website and Twitter account were created to announce Aokawa Nana’s Goukon ni Ittara Onna ga Inakatta Hanashi (“How I Attended an All-Guy’s Mixer”) receiving an animated adaptation, with a teaser trailer and visual being revealed as well.

Previously known for Modokidomo and Pixiv manga Josou Cosplayer ni Otouto ga Dekiru Manga, Aokawa first published the original web manga on Pixiv in 2020. Square Enix later acquired the series and put it to print, of which the sixth volume is set to release on October 12th. Square also licensed the series in English on their Manga UP! platform.

Following an invitation by Suou, a girl from his same seminar, college student Tokiwa joins his first mixer party ever, with his friends Asagi and Hagi. Neither of them know what to expect, but it’s definitely not the sight of three handsome young men waiting at their table. Except it’s not three men: it’s Suou and her friends, who work at a cross-dressing bar and came to the mixer in their work clothes. Their charming antics leave the three spellbound and confused, but as the two groups get to know each other in and out of university, they find themselves getting closer in unexpected ways.

Aokawa also posted an illustration on her Twitter account to commemorate the announcement.
