The television anime adaptation of the romance fantasy manga The Duke's Son Claims He Won't Love Me Yet Showers Me with Adoration premiered in July 2026 on TV Asahi and BS Asahi. The series is directed by Hitoyuki Matsui at studios Zero-G and Grass, with Kaoru Suzuki credited for planning technical direction. Tomoko Konparu oversees series scripts, Yūko Yahiro designs the characters, and MICHIRU composes the music. The previously announced cast includes Yui Ishikawa as Elsa Eukrainen, Sōma Saitō as Julius Royus, Kaito Ishikawa as Jarmo Parnilla, Chika Anzai as Serafiina Parnilla, Hibiku Yamamura as Rebeka Rikkonen, and Junya Enoki as Hannes Eukrainen.
In May 2026, the series added two new cast members: Ryōhei Kimura as Aleksis Josef Ralt, the crown prince of the kingdom of Ralt and lord of Julius Royus, and Ryōta Suzuki as Jere Ekrous, an aide to Prince Aleksis. The addition of a crown prince and his aide suggests the anime will expand beyond the central couple's household into court politics and wider kingdom dynamics.
Anime Feminist's review of the first episode highlighted the series' focus on tenderness within the arranged marriage subgenre. The premiere introduces noblewoman Elsa, who enters a political marriage with Duke Julius, and depicts her impoverished background and genuine character. The review noted the show's refreshing sincerity compared to crueler entries in the genre. The manga, written by Kei Misawa and illustrated by Natsu Mizuno, began on the BookLive digital bookstore in February 2021. Flex Comix shipped the fifth compiled volume on March 13 and offers the series in English on digital platforms.
