Kadokawa has revealed that the Tai Ari Deshita: Ojou-sama wa Kakutou Game Nante Shinai (Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games/ 対ありでした。～お嬢さまは格闘ゲームなんてしない～) TV anime will be delayed to 2026, from its previously scheduled debut in 2025.
In addition, staff for the anime have revealed new visuals for the previously announced collaboration with CAPCOM’s Street Fighter 6 game.
Ihata Shouta is directing the Tai Ari Deshita: Ojou-sama wa Kakutou Game Nante Shinai anime at Diomedea studio, and the anime will star:
- Hasegawa Imuki as Aya Mitsuki
- Ichinose Kana as Mio Yorue
- Shimojo Shino as Tamaki Ichinose
- Senbongi Sayaka as Yu Inui
The anime is based on Ejima Eri’s Tai Ari Deshita: Ojou-sama wa Kakutou Game Nante Shinai manga. Ejima started the manga in January 2020 in Kadokawa’s Monthly Comic Flapper magazine, and Kadokawa published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in June 2020 and the ninth volume in June 2025.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes the manga in English under the name Young Ladies Don’t Play Fighting Games, and it will release the manga’s eighth volume on September 30th, 2025. It describes the story below:
“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?”
