Yuri web comic-turned-manga The Guy She Was Interested In Wasn't A Guy at All is getting an anime adaptation in January 2027, as Crunchyroll announced at Anime Expo. Among its sterling credits is an endorsement from Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters singer Dave Grohl, who reckons late Nirvana singer, songwriter, and guitarist Kurt Cobain would've loved the series.
Nirvana's song Breed will serve as the opening theme of the anime, which stars two Japanese high school girls who frequent a music shop and share a love of Western rock music. One ends up infatuated with the other without realizing that the rock-savvy boy of her daydreams is in fact her female classmate in a punk getup, and the two unavoidably grow closer. The series' neon green motif, a sharp highlight in a sea of black-and-white panels, has earned it the nickname "green yuri" among English fans, with yuri referring to women-loving-women stories (complementing yaoi, men-loving-men).
