The TV anime "Uchi no Otouto-domo ga Sumimasen," based on the romantic comedy manga by Akira Ozaki, known for "Arisugawa-san in Wonderland" and "Haru x Kiyo," will begin airing on TOKYO MX, BS11, and other channels starting July 3rd. All 24 episodes will air over two consecutive seasons. It was also announced that Kensho Ono will voice Hiiragi (the third son), and Momoka Terasawa will voice Rui (the fourth son).
Yashiro commented, "When I read the original work, I found the relationships within the Narita family and how they change very interesting, and it also gave me a very warm feeling. I am truly happy to be able to participate in the work as a member of such a family. I would like to portray him while cherishing everything he feels, even if it is not put into words."
Ono said, "First of all, congratulations on the anime adaptation! After reading the original work, I feel that I've been given a very challenging and rewarding role. The voice recording is already underway, and I hope to be able to express the worries and conflicts within him well. Please support us!"
Terazawa commented, "When I read the original work, I found it to be such an interesting story that I lost track of time, and I really wanted to be involved in it! I am so happy to be able to participate in this work as Rui. The frustrating romance between Gen and Ito, as well as the comical parts, are full of charm that will keep viewers entertained, and I myself have been enjoying it since the voice recording sessions. I am doing my best to portray Rui, the adorable youngest brother of the Narita family! I hope you will enjoy it!"
"Sorry About My Little Brothers" is a romantic comedy set under one roof. High school girl Narita Ito suddenly becomes the older sister of four unique "little brothers" after her mother remarries.

A live-action film adaptation starring actress Mei Hata was released in 2024, which also generated a lot of buzz.
The anime will be directed by Hitoshi Nanba, known for works such as "GOSICK," and produced by Lay-duce. Naomi Ohzora will voice Ito Narita, and Toshiki Masuda Masuda will voice Gen Narita.
