On March 28, 2025, the AnimeFesta streaming service made a significant announcement regarding the production of an anime series titled Ren Arisugawa is Actually a Girl. This adult anime will be available for streaming on the AnimeFesta platform, although details regarding its release date remain undisclosed at this time.
To celebrate this exciting news, Norito Asaduki, the original manga’s author and illustrator, unveiled a special illustration showcasing the main characters. This announcement has generated considerable buzz, but specifics about when Ren Arisugawa is Actually a Girl will premiere on AnimeFesta have yet to be confirmed.
Announcing the Production of Ren Arisugawa is Actually a Girl Anime
Asaduki’s celebratory illustration features Ren and her cousin Kyohei, both proudly holding a banner that signifies the confirmation of the anime’s production. Above them, there are words which likely represent the mangaka’s personal commentary on this remarkable milestone.
In a heartfelt post on their official X (formerly Twitter) account, Asaduki reflected on the joy of making this announcement five years after the manga’s conclusion and expressed gratitude towards fans for their continued support. The manga, published by WWWave Corporation, encompasses a total of 57 chapters.
WWWave Corporation, which operates both ComicFesta and AnimeFesta, has been at the forefront of creating adult-oriented and risqué anime adaptations over the last six-plus years. Many titles on AnimeFesta feature two versions: a censored “broadcast” edition for television and a premium “uncensored” variant for online audiences.
The plot of Ren Arisugawa is Actually a Girl revolves around Kyohei and Ren, who were close friends during childhood but reconnect as adults. Initially, Kyohei believes Ren is male when she unexpectedly appears at his apartment. Humorously, as he attempts to tease Kyohei about being self-conscious about his physique, he inadvertently reveals that Ren is actually a girl.
AnimeFesta’s first project, On a Lustful Night Mingling with a Priest (Sōryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni), established a precedent for the platform, earning it the nickname “Soryo-waku” or “Soryo-type” among fans. The latest series from AnimeFesta is an adaptation of Ayaka Matsumoto’s Unexpectedly Naughty Fukami, which premiered on March 14, with English dubbing scheduled to begin on April 6.
