Manga author Kaoru Fukaya announced a television anime adaptation for her Yomawari Neko manga on her official Twitter on Tuesday.

Fukaya began drawing the short slice of life manga on her Twitter account in October 2015. The manga was later serialized in Kadokawa's ComicWalker from February 2016 to July 2016. Kodansha continued serializing the manga on their Moae platform from March 2017 until October 14 before moving to the blog of Comic Days on October 17. Kadokawa initially shipped the first volume in June 2016. Kodansha re-released the first volume in March 2017 and continued publishing the following volumes. The ninth volume shipped on November 22.
