No animation staff and voice cast have been announced as of yet. The manga series inspired a live-action drama series that ran for eight episodes on TBS from April 6, 2022 to May 25, 2022.
Shima launched the manga under Kadokawa’s Gene Line label on June 18, 2018, as part of the LINE manga service. Seven tankobon volumes have been published in total.
Crunchyroll describes Murai in Love as:
The story tells a romantic comedy between Tanaka, a high school teacher who loves otome games, and Murai, a high school boy who is in love with Tanaka. Tanaka, who has never been involved in a real-life romance, is confessed to by Murai but rejects his confession. On the next day, Murai transforms himself into the exact likeness of Tanaka’s favorite character from her favorite otome game.
