Girlfriend, Girlfriend

Naoya Mukai has cherished his childhood crush on Saki Saki for years, and the moment she finally reciprocates, he feels like the luckiest guy alive. But life gets complicated when a sweet, bold newcomer named Nagisa Minase confesses her feelings too. Rather than picking one over the other, Naoya blurts out that he wants to date both of them, hoping to hold onto what he loves without sacrificing kindness or honesty. What follows is a high energy, comedy fueled look at romance, loyalty, and the messy gray areas of desire, as all three navigate boundaries, friendships, and the consequences of a double dating arrangement. The show blurs lines between friendship and love while keeping the tone light and fast paced, leaning into goofy miscommunications and earnest moments alike.

Released in 2021 as an anime adaptation of Hiroyuki's manga. The project comes from creators Kazuhiko Inukai Keiichiro Ochi and Hiroyuki and features a vocal lineup led by Junya Enoki Ayane Sakura Azumi Waki Ayana Taketatsu and Rie Takahashi.

Fans took to social media with jokes about Naoya's predicament and the trio's dynamic, sparking memes and fan art as the setup sparked conversations about honesty, boundaries, and unconventional relationships in a light hearted way.

Critical chatter centers on its breezy pace and earnest performances rather than deep drama. The series leans into themes of communication and consent in romantic entanglements, balancing humor with a surprisingly thoughtful look at how desire and loyalty coexist in young relationships.
