SILVER LINK is animating the production. Natsuki Hanae appeared at the event, but did not confirm that he is returning as Taiyō Asano.

Update: The manga's official Twitter account posted the anime's visual and Gondaira's illustration celebrating the anime news:

Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine launched the series in August 2019. Shueisha will release the 16th volume on January 4.

Viz Media has been simultaneously publishing the manga in English digitally since its debut in Japan. Viz Media then began publishing compiled volumes digitally in December 2020, and began releasing the series physically starting with the first volume on October 18.

Shueisha's MANGA Plus service also releases the manga digitally in English, and it describes the story:

Taiyo Asano is a super shy high school student and the only person he can talk to is his childhood friend, Mutsumi Yozakura. It turns out that Mutsumi is the daughter of the ultimate spy family! Even worse, Mutsumi is being harassed by her overprotective, nightmare of a brother, Kyoichiro. What drastic steps will Taiyo have to take to save Mutsumi?! A spy family comedy - the mission begins!

Gondaira launched the Demon Prince Poro's Diaries (Poro no Ryūgakuki) manga in Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in February 2017 and ended it in June 2017. Shueisha published the manga's second and final compiled book volume in August 2017. Viz Media published the manga's first three chapters in English as part of its "Jump Start" initiative.

Gondaira won the 10th "Gold Future Cup" contest in Weekly Shonen Jump in 2015 with the one-shot "Genjūi Toteku" manga.
