DMM Pictures is a studio active in boys-love anime production, with its next television anime, Ore to Yu Nii!, set to debut in January 2027. The studio is also running student-facing career events in Tokyo.
DMM Pictures is producing Ore to Yu Nii!, the television anime adaptation of Miyuki Nakayama's Shota Oni boys-love manga. The series is set for a January 2027 debut, with Studio Hibari handling animation and Noriko Hashimoto directing. Yuniko Ayana oversees series scripts, and the cast includes Shinnosuke Tokudome as Tsubaki and Shuichiro Umeda as Yu. The story follows elementary school boy Tsubaki and his high school childhood friend Yu, whom Tsubaki loves but who treats him like a child.
Nakayama's manga launched in September 2021 on Comic CMOA as part of Square Enix's Gangan BLiss label. It won the Best Next Generation (Newcomer) award at Chil-Chil's 13th annual BL Awards in 2022, and Square Enix published its seventh volume on March 21. The anime announcement positions DMM Pictures within a sustained run of mainstream boys-love television adaptations.
Separately, DMM Pictures is engaging directly with prospective staff. On August 31, 2026, the studio will hold a student seminar and mixer in Tokyo, with voice actor Hiroshi Kamiya joining DMM anime producers for talks on voice acting and the anime business. A reception afterward gives students a chance to ask about careers and hiring. The two stories show a studio balancing new production work with recruitment outreach.
