KADOKAWA Schedules Studio Cabana Anime Adaptation For 2027

KADOKAWA confirmed on Wednesday that Aguri Uma’s romance manga Studio Cabana is getting a TV anime adaptation scheduled for 2027. The anime’s official website released a teaser visual, staff list, and lead voice actor alongside the announcement.

The announcement was accompanied by the anime’s first teaser visual carrying the tagline, “If that's not love, tell me what it is.” It introduces the emotional tone of the coming-of-age romance while positioning the adaptation among the growing wave of romance manga.

The adaptation is based on Aguri Uma’s manga, serialized on KADOKAWA’s Sylph web comic platform. The series has built a strong following among younger readers, particularly on TikTok, and has surpassed 500K copies in circulation. Studio Cabana has eight volumes in circulation, with the ninth volume scheduled to be released in Japan on Aug 21.

What is Studio Cabana about?

Studio Cabana manga follows high school students Yukari Maki and Yusuke Kusaka. Maki is portrayed as a straightforward student, which leads her to become the only classmate willing to confront Yusuke about skating inside school.

Her perception of him changes after she secretly follows him into a music studio named Studio Cabana, where she discovers his hidden side as a singer. What begins as curiosity gradually develops into an emotional youth romance centered on music, personal vulnerability, and first love.
