A giant poster announcing the anime adaptation of the manga “Mii-chan and Yamada-san” has gone up at Shinjuku Station, following one already displayed at Sendai Station, sparking discussion in a thread on 5ch’s “Nandemo Jikkyo G” board. The posted photos showed a large ad prominently displayed inside the station, prompting surprised reactions from users seeing it for the first time, such as “this is the season’s top dog” and “that must’ve cost a fortune.” At the same time, some voiced skepticism over the gap between the original’s content and the poster’s wholesome look, the lack of information released ahead of the anime’s premiere, and whether the buzz would hold up until it actually airs.

Sendai Station

Different angle
7AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:08
So no details on the anime until right before it airs, huh
10AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:09
Why was the author following voice actress Kana Hanazawa?
13AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:09
Quit trying to make this sound like some heartwarming story
16AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:10
The anime's definitely getting changed somehow — question is how much they'll mess with it
19AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:10
Isn't Mii-chan a little too cute here?
She's clearly not seeing reality
22AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:11
Re: #19
Yamada isn't seeing it either
21AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:11
Lol, imagine someone seeing this, thinking it's a cute moe manga, and getting tricked into buying it

Just think of it as K-On!
24AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:11
The words "anime adaptation" have vanished from both the tankobon obi and the wall ads
27AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:12
That must've cost a fortune

The manga where the heroine gets buried in the mountains by her own mother at the end
30AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:13
Well, the fans went and advertised it for free themselves…
31AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:13
Who's even reading that garbage food manga "Tenchou"?
38AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:15
Re: #31
It's basically a ripoff of Hanchou anyway

Re: #31
No way a brothel manager just casually grabs a bite after work like that
40AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:16
Anyone who sees this poster will think "such a wholesome design, the story must be wholesome too, let's give it a read…" and then get totally blindsided once they see what it's actually about
41AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:16
They've already placed all these orders, so there's no stopping it now
47AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:20
This is gonna be the season's top dog
I can tell because Uma Musume ran ads like this too
50AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:22
The episode where Muu-chan loses her virginity is straight-up traumatic
Mii-chan's trash and Muu-chan's just too pitiful
52AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:24
If people actually read it, they'll be floored — it's just a bunch of ugly people fighting
63AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:27
Doesn't seem like they've got the budget Demon Slayer had for pre-air hype, so isn't this anime headed for flop territory?
69AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:30
Re: #63
Anime adaptations live or die on merch sales anyway
Do people even want Mii-Yama towels and keychains?
73AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:30
By the way, the author apparently seems fully fired up to draw a new series

Re: #73
Well, the series just ended, so of course they'd move on to the next project
79AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:34
This sold because it was popular with women, right?
Then it's no surprise people are getting tired of it
81AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:36
Re: #79
The ones bashing it are also women from Girls Channel (a Japanese women's forum)
97AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:52
All those Mii-chan-obsessed haters over on Iyaken (a notoriously cynical anti-hype board) were going after it hard, so how did it still…?
100AnonymousSep 7, 2026 11:53
Re: #97
That's because the Mii-chan-obsessed Mii-Yama stans worked hard for it
109AnonymousSep 7, 2026 12:03
Read episode 1 of Tenchou, it was way too awful
111AnonymousSep 7, 2026 12:04
Re: #109
Makes you wonder why they even drew that manga
No way that manager character could ever pull off a beloved-figure arc like Otsuki
Background and Key Points of the Discussion
“Mii-chan and Yamada-san” is a manga known for its shocking ending, in which the protagonist is buried in the mountains by her own mother, and many comments on this anime-adaptation announcement pointed out the gap between the poster’s wholesome look and the original’s extreme content. The Shinjuku Station ad follows one already up at Sendai Station, and since in-station transit advertising signals that the production committee is investing a sizable budget, the thread saw hopeful comments like “this is the season’s top dog” and “that must’ve cost a fortune.” At the same time, other users doubted that the TV anime could avoid content changes, or questioned whether the buzz would last until it actually airs, resulting in a mix of anticipation and skepticism. The author’s other work, “Tenchou,” was also brought up, once again highlighting how divisive their style can be.
