The anime television series adaptation of Reiji Miyajima's manga was announced in December 2019, with TMS Entertainment handling the animation.

The first season aired for 12 episodes from July 11 to September 26, 2020, on the Super Animeism programming block on MBS, TBS, and their JNN affiliates.

A second season was greenlit shortly before the first season's finale had even finished streaming internationally, with the main cast and staff reprising their roles and Studio Comet cooperating in production.

Shinya Une replaced Kazuomi Koga as director for the third season, while Koga later returned to direct the fourth season.

The fourth season was originally planned to be released in two split cours but ended up airing as a single cours from July 5 to September 20, 2025.

The musical score across the series was primarily composed by Hyadain, with Yusuke Itagaki and Tomoyuki Otake contributing additional tracks, and each season featured different opening and ending theme artists such as the Peggies, Halca, CHiCO with HoneyWorks, ClariS, and Sora Amamiya.

Critics gave the series a mixed reception, with some reviewers calling the first two seasons tedious and repetitive rom-com fare, while praising the third season for surprisingly delivering a compelling romantic dramedy that addressed the male lead's flaws.

Reviewers noted that the anime's female lead, Chizuru, was praised as an intriguing, well-developed character for hiding her true personality behind a perfect girlfriend façade, while some criticized the show's handling of a manipulative ex-girlfriend subplot introduced in episode three.
