Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami (Anime)

Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami (やたらやらしい深見くん, Yatara Yarashii Fukami-kun) opens inside the private scoring system of a man who believes he has everyone figured out. Kaji Akihiro (Chasuke) is the sales department's ace, admired for his looks and his effortless charm, and quietly rating every colleague on a numerical attractiveness scale that almost nobody clears. Yu Fukami (Marshmallow Yakitaro), the outwardly plain colleague from the IT department, does not register on that scale at all. Kaji has walked past him for months without forming a single opinion worth keeping.

An overnight business trip puts the two of them in the same place after hours, and the version of Fukami who emerges there has nothing to do with the one Kaji has been ignoring. The encounter dismantles Kaji's assumptions about his colleague and, far more uncomfortably, about himself. What starts as curiosity hardens into a stubborn, slow-burning attachment between a self-absorbed salesman and a deceptively striking otaku who is in no hurry to explain himself. The six-minute episodes swing between cynical office comedy and something more exposed, and with only eight instalments the story stays with the two leads.

Studio Hōkiboshi produced the anime for AnimeFesta, adapting Ayaka Matsumoto's ongoing manga, serialized on ComicFesta under the Screamo label since December 2022 and collected into four volumes by Suiseisha. Akane Ozora directed. The eight episodes aired from March 14 to June 9, 2025 in two forms: the AnimeFesta exclusive carries the streaming edition, which runs longer than the broadcast version, while Tokyo MX and BS11 broadcast a standard, broadcast-safe cut that is also available on U-NEXT and Apple TV+. An English simuldub from Ascendent Animation premiered via OceanVeil on April 6, 2025, the same week as the Japanese run. It is the first screen version of the manga, arriving a year before the 2026 live-action drama drawn from the same source.
