Mochizuki‑san Manga Gets TV Anime Adaptation

The popular manga "ドカ食いダイスキ！ もちづきさん" (Mochizuki‑san) was announced to receive a TV anime series, slated to begin airing on August 4, 2026. The adaptation will be produced by animation studio Passione, and the announcement was accompanied by a celebratory illustration and a special manga panel drawn by the series' creator, Maruyo no Kamome.

The story follows 21‑year‑old office worker Mochizuki‑san, who indulges in massive, high‑calorie meals, delivering a blend of “guilty‑pleasure” and comedic over‑eating. Serialized in Shuesha’s Young Animal ZERO and Young Animal Web, the series has earned recognition in the "Next Manga Awards" and generated significant buzz on social media, prompting the move to animation.
