Crunchyroll Shares Sneak Peek of Here U Are

Although the premiere date for Here U Are still has not been announced yet, fans can get a sense of what’s to come in this sneak peek.

Shared at New York Comic Con 2026, Crunchyroll has dropped a preview of the first episode of Here U Are, the animated adaptation of the popular manhua. The preview begins with a student asking Yu Yang to pass on a student’s suitcase. Before he can get to the reception to drop it off, a tall student named Li Huan stops him. Yu Yang is undeterred by the stoic expression on Li Huan’s face and cheerfully leads him to the dorms. A voiceover from Yu Yang concludes the preview: “Today, I met someone I was destined to meet. I’m going to fall in love with this guy.”

Studio Rouseact will animate and produce the adaptation with Tomoe Makino directing. Aiki Kawamura will work on the series composition with Asami Hayakawa designing the characters. Shinya Kiyozuka will compose the music. As heard in the trailer, the adaptation has already found its voice actors for the two leads with Yuki Inoue voicing Yu Yang and Ryota Suzuki taking on the role of Li Huan.

Written by D JUN between 2017 to 2020, the sweet slice-of-life manhua has amassed 31.8 million views on WEBTOON as of this article’s writing and contains 134 episodes.

Publisher Aloha Comics describes the story:

Sophomore Yu Yang is a real treasure. He has a cheerful, easy-going, and emphatic personality. Seniors look up to him, and he knows how to stand up for himself. Freshman Li Huan is moody and taciturn, haughty and, at times, outright rude. How will these two manage to get along, and where will it lead them..?

Aloha Comics releases the print version of the manhua. WEBTOON has the digital license and has, for some inexplicable reason, localized the story and names in Korean.

Crunchyroll will stream the anime but has not yet revealed when the adaptation will release.
