Wall holes, nosy neighbors and a very earnest office lady 🧱➡️💕: Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home! (Tadaima, Ojamasaremasu!) is officially getting a TV anime in 2026. The shoujo romcom born on Comic Cmoa and released in English on MangaPlaza is bringing its heartwarming love triangle to TV along with a generous free-reading campaign.
A Hidden Otaku, a Broken Wall, and a Sweet Triangle
Rinko Nakama is a 24-year-old office worker whose real mission is getting home fast enough to binge anime in her secret otaku cave. That quiet life collapses—literally—when an accident opens holes in the wall between her room and the two apartments next door, forcing her into an ultra-close roomshare with both neighbors.
Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home! Anime Arrives in 2026
The TV anime adaptation of Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home! is scheduled to air in Japan in 2026. Director and series composer Itsuki Imazaki teams up with scriptwriter Makoto Takada, with Shunsuke Kikuchi as character designer and chief animation director, and Tatsunoko Production on animation. The main trio stars Kana Hanazawa (Rinko), Kaito Ishikawa (Satsuki), and Haruki Ishiya (Usada). A first teaser visual is already up on the official website and on the show’s social accounts.
Meet Rinko, Satsuki and Usada in This Roomshare Romcom
Rinko is a kind, slightly awkward otaku who desperately wants to look “normal,” which only makes the wall-sharing chaos funnier. On one side lives Satsuki, the calm, considerate glasses guy with total dream-boyfriend energy; on the other is Usada, a blunt, hot-tempered creator who just happens to make Rinko’s favorite series. Their tiny, gap-filled apartments turn into the stage for a low-key but very sincere love triangle. 😳
Should You Start the Manga Now or Wait for the Anime?
The manga runs on the digital romance label Koisuru Soirée and on the Comic Cmoa service in both “micro” chapter volumes and a vertical scrolling edition. With plenty of chapters already out, the 2026 anime will likely start from the early story arcs. For English-speaking readers, you can already read the series in full color on MangaPlaza as Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home!-Full Color, so checking out a few volumes now is an easy way to meet the cast.
Free Comic Cmoa Campaign Details for New Readers
To celebrate the anime announcement, Comic Cmoa is running a free-reading campaign in Japan. From November 25, 2025 through March 31, 2026, micro volumes 1–5 of Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home! are free, along with episodes 1–15 of the vertical “tate-yomi” version. Details and other Koisuru Soirée and Soirée+ romance picks are listed on a special campaign page, and the contents may change over time. 📚
Streaming Outlook and Tips for Overseas Romcom Fans
Broadcast stations and international streaming platforms have not been announced yet, so overseas fans will need to stay tuned for more info. NTT Solmare not only operates Comic Cmoa but also the English-language MangaPlaza service, so the company clearly has global readers in mind. If this wall-hole romcom sounds like your vibe, add Pardon the Intrusion, I’m Home! to your 2026 watchlist, sample the manga while it is free, and follow @tadaoja_anime and the official TikTok for future teasers. 💕
