Now That We Draw Gets January 2027 Debut, Trailer

A trailer and January 2027 broadcast start date have been revealed for the Now That We Draw TV anime adaptation. Character visuals for lead characters Yuuki Uehara and Niina Miyamoto were also released.

Now That We Drawis based on the manga Seven Seas Entertainment’s synopsis for the manga reads:

Opposites attract in this hysterical rom-com about two high school manga artists who can’t catch a break!

Dweeby high schooler Uehara Yuuki has created the perfect romantic comedy heroine—she’s bashful, airheaded, and completely chaste. When an editor at Uehara’s dream publisher coldly dismisses his manga story as trite and lacking realism, it sends Uehara into a spiral of despair that pushes him into the path of his bubbly, gorgeous classmate, Miyamoto Niina—an aspiring manga artist herself!

Having gotten the similar feedback on her own manga, Miyamoto proposes she and Uehara engage in a fake relationship, since neither of them has any romantic experience. But Miyamoto is far from the perfect heroine Uehara’s concocted, and he certainly isn’t the cocky hero from her story either. Can their wacky relationship turn their manga dreams into reality, or will it lead to even more comic disasters?

The Now That We Drawmanga debuted in Hakusensha’s seinen magazine Young Animal in February 2023 and will get its eighth volume on September 29.
