The anime "Hirayasumi" based on Keigo Shinzo's original work will be broadcast on NHK General TV from January 2027. The teaser visual and special video for the same work have been released.
``Hira Yasumi'' is a story woven by Hiroto, a free man who does not have a regular job or a girlfriend and lives in a one-story house given to him by an elderly neighbor, and the people who gather around him and have ``problems'' that make life difficult. The original work has been serialized in Weekly Big Comic Spirits (Shogakukan) since April 2021, and was made into a drama in November 2025. The teaser visual depicts Hiroto walking while pushing a motorcycle in front of a one-story house, and Ba-chan. The special video uses teaser visuals, anime illustrations, background art, and music.
