The official website for the TV anime adaptation of Mai Matsuda’s Walking Home with You manga series confirmed that the anime will premiere in April 2027 on the NTV channel. A new teaser visual for the Walking Home with You anime was also revealed alongside a new illustration from Matsuda. The visual’s tagline reads “the requirement for joining the club is walking home with me.”
Matsuda launched the original manga series in Futabasha’s Manga Action magazine in August 2023, and the anime adaptation was announced in March 2025. Seven volumes have been released to date.
Omoi licenses the manga and describes the story:
Shun was the star of his middle school’s soccer team, until an injury forced him to give up on his dream. Now in high school, he’s adrift, with no real interests or passions … until he meets his oddball upperclassman Naoki. She ropes him into joining her unofficial “Hyper-Epic Heading Home Club,” a club with only one member dedicated to turning every walk home into an adventure. As Shun follows Naoki through her flights of fancy in search of elaborate detours, secret treasures, and anything else that catches her attention, can the Heading Home Club bring color back to his drab everyday life?
