The anime adaptation, as announced through Don't Touch Me Kotesashi's official X account, is set to air in 2025. Since the Winter 2025 anime season is about to conclude, releasing the anime in the following season, Spring 2025, may not be possible; thus, the release might happen in the second half of 2025.
Takuya Shinjou, the author of Don't Touch Me Kotesashi, released a commemorative illustration to celebrate the anime adaptation of his work. The illustration features five female characters from the manga: Aoba Kitahara, Aroma Kusunoki, Izumi Sumiyoshi, Chiyo Sayamagaoka, and Miyuki Hongou. The voice cast for all these characters has yet to be revealed.
Takuya Shinjou also shared a message on this occasion, expressing his disbelief that he never expected his manga to receive an anime adaptation. He thanked his fans, editors, and everyone else involved with his manga and encouraged his fans to look forward to the anime adaptation.
The manga series is also available to read online on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket website, which also publishes the series in physical volumes. Additionally, to commemorate the announcement of the Don't Touch Me Kotesashi anime, the first 15 chapters of the manga will be available to read for free on the online app.
