On April 8, 2025, the highly anticipated official website launched, announcing the television anime adaptation of Takuma Yokota’s manga series, Ponkotsu Fukiin to Skirt. Officially titled Ponkotsu Fukiin to Skirt Take ga Futekisetsu na JK no Hanashi, the site provided initial details about the anime’s production team, but it did not specify a release date, leaving fans eager for more information.
Exciting Developments for Ponkotsu Fukiin to Skirt’s Anime Adaptation
The anime adaptation will be produced by Zero-G Studios, under the direction of Daiji Iwanaga. Yo Himuro is designated as the character designer for this engaging series. As of now, this marks the extent of the staff details shared on the official website. Fans should anticipate further updates regarding the cast and additional production announcements in the near future.
The website also released a captivating key visual announcing the adaptation, showcasing the two main characters. The series, originally known in English as Story of the Useless Public Morals Committeeman and the High School Girl With Inappropriate Skirt Length, features the high school girl holding a celebratory sign while the public morals committeeman chases her in the background, hinting at the humorous dynamics of the story.
In a heartfelt reaction to the news, Takuma Yokota shared his excitement on his personal X (formerly Twitter) account. His post conveyed both joy and disbelief that the adaptation is real, emphasizing how it feels like a dream come true. However, as of the time of this writing, he has not yet released any celebratory artwork or visuals connected to this announcement.
The narrative of Ponkotsu Fukiin to Skirt centers around Tougo Sakuradaimon, a seemingly intelligent member of the public morals committee who, in reality, proves to be rather inept. His counterpart, Poemu Kohinata, appears to be a troublemaker but actually possesses significant capabilities. The storyline kicks off with their initial conflict, which gradually evolves as they uncover each other’s true characters.
Yokota’s romantic comedy first debuted in Kodansha’s Monthly Shonen Sirius in March 2019, and it remains an ongoing series, with a total of 17 compilation volumes published to date. The first eleven of these volumes are available in physical formats, while the remainder can be accessed exclusively as ebooks, allowing fans to enjoy the series in various ways.
