Green Yuri Anime Announced
The hit Green Yuri manga will have an anime coming next year, featuring the tailored playlist provided by the author herself!
On July 4, 2026, it has been officially announced on Anime Expo that Green Yuri will be getting an anime that will air on January 2027.
This was previously leaked last month.
The studio responsible is Cloverworks, known for their hit romances such as Horimiya, Spy x Family, My Dress Up Darling, The Fragrant Flower Blooms with Dignity and more.
Masashi Ishihama, the series director for Horimiya, will serve as director for this adaptation.
The opening song is “Breed”, the 1991 song which was originally from the album Nevermind by Nirvana.
Of note, this is based on the music Mitsuki and Aya listen throughout the series and made into a playlist by the author Sumiko Arai.
This is an official playlist released by Universal Music Japan with the release of the first volume, featuring songs from artists such as Nirvana, Turnstile, and Royal Blood, among others and they are updated with each new volume.
As such, we could see these songs play throughout the anime as well.
