The official website for the anime adaptation of the
manga written and illustrated by Yayu Murata , “ If
My Wife Became an Elementary School Student ( Tsuma,
Shougakusei ni Naru )”, revealed a new promotional video for the
project. The video confirms that the premiere is scheduled for the Fall-2024
period (October-December) , and lists the production details.
Yayu Murata began
publishing the manga through Houbunsha 's Weekly
Manga Times magazine in July 2018, and ended it in December 2022.
Therefore, this is one of those rare cases in which a finished manga gets an
anime adaptation. This is possibly because the work was quite popular at the
time due to its curious subject matter.
