A brand-new late-night anime is coming to Japanese television this summer—Hitozuma no Kuchibiru wa Can Chu-hai no Aji ga Shite (roughly “Wives’ Lips Taste Like Can Chu-hai”) has officially been announced for a July 2025 broadcast. Based on the popular web manga series from Yanmaga Web, the show blends offbeat humor, mature relationships, and a splash of alcoholic mischief. This article breaks down all the essentials: cast, crew, visual teasers, and where to follow the official updates.
Who’s Behind the Anime?
The upcoming TV anime Hitozuma no Kuchibiru wa Can Chu-hai no Aji ga Shite is being produced by Deregyura, an animation label under Tokyo-based company WAVE. The original story was created by Chin Jao Musume, with manga art by Tama Nogami. The anime adaptation brings together a notable staff lineup: directed and structured by Hajime Keima, character designs by Yoriko Kare, and sound direction by Fumihiko Otera. The animation production is handled by studio raiose.
What Is the Anime About?
The story follows Tsuyoshi, a 22-year-old university student with a lazy streak, whose life takes an unexpected turn when he begins drinking strong canned chu-hai with his alluring aunt Yui. She’s a no-nonsense office worker with a teasing streak and a tendency to become “dangerously affectionate” when drunk. As the two grow closer over shared drinks, things inevitably take a turn for the steamy—making this an adult-oriented, romantic omnibus filled with humor and awkward charm.
When Will It Air?
The series is scheduled to begin broadcasting in July 2025, with specific air dates to be announced soon. It will air on Japanese terrestrial TV, likely in a late-night programming slot due to its mature themes.

Why Is This Noteworthy?
What sets this anime apart is its unique blend of adult humor and emotional intimacy, told through a rotating cast of married women—over 27 have appeared in the original manga. The main visual shows heroine Yui holding a can of chu-hai featuring Tsuyoshi’s face, a subtle nod to the show’s themes of connection and indulgence. The staff emphasizes realism in body types and interpersonal dynamics, adding a touch of authenticity to the otherwise surreal premise.
