D JUN’s Here U Are has been earning quiet devotion for years. The Chinese BL manhua ran from 2017 to 2020 across 134 episodes and has since accumulated 27.5 million views on WEBTOON — and now, at last, it is getting the anime treatment. Crunchyroll dropped the announcement at its panel during Anime Expo 2026, revealing studio Rouseact as the production house and releasing an official teaser that sent the existing fanbase into a very good mood.
The Story: Two Students, One Slow Burn
Here U Are follows two university students whose paths collide in the way these things tend to: badly at first. Yu Yang is the cheerful, well-liked upperclassman whose easy warmth conceals real emotional pain he has never let anyone close enough to see. Li Huan is the quiet, standoffish new student who would rather everyone just left him alone. They clash, they pull apart, and they keep finding their way back to each other — slowly, genuinely, with the kind of patience in the storytelling that makes the payoffs land.
That unhurried approach, combined with D JUN’s expressive, clean art, is what built the series’ devoted following among readers who found it on WEBTOON. The manhua is available in English digitally on WEBTOON, and Aloha Comics has a print edition for collectors who want it on a shelf. If you want to catch up before the anime lands, the full run is there waiting.
The Anime Team
Rouseact is producing the adaptation under director Tomoe Makino. Aiki Kawamura handles series composition, Asami Hayakawa designs the characters, and Shinya Kiyozuka composes the music. The voice cast announced so far: Yuki Inoue as Yu Yang and Ryota Suzuki as Li Huan — two actors with the range the story needs.
No premiere date has been announced. Crunchyroll has confirmed it will stream the series, which means Singapore fans are covered — Crunchyroll is fully available here, and with a simulcast pickup this large, subtitles will be ready from launch.
Part of a Growing Wave
Here U Are arrives at a moment when BL adaptations are reaching genuinely mainstream streaming audiences rather than being confined to niche platforms. Crunchyroll picking this up globally — rather than it being region-locked or relegated to a smaller service — means Singapore’s anime community, which has a vocal and enthusiastic BL following, gets it on the same terms as every other market. The announcement drew a strong reaction at Anime Expo, a signal of just how much appetite there is for well-made BL anime beyond the genre’s traditional core audience.
More details — premiere window, opening and ending themes, additional cast — are expected as production news comes through. Keep an eye on Crunchyroll’s official channels for updates. For more manga and anime announcements from Anime Expo 2026, see our other coverage from this week.
