Anime Adaption Confirmed for Smash Hit Boys Love Webtoon “One Room TA”
The widely popular boys-love (BL) webtoon “One Room TA” is officially set to receive an animated adaptation.
The highly anticipated series is scheduled to premiere in summer 2026, bringing the beloved campus romance to the screen for fans worldwide.
Creator Jibung shared the exciting news of the adaptation on their X account, a significant gesture that immediately drew attention from the webtoon community.
Jibung also unveiled the first promotional poster for the animation alongside the announcement.
The adaptation is slated to stream on the Korean animation platform Laftel, indicating a strong domestic push for the animated project.
“One Room TA” has already achieved massive commercial success, accumulating a total of 7 million cumulative views.
Its critical recognition is also notable, having been named one of the Most Entertaining Books of the year by the Korean Publishing Culture Association.
This dual impact of high readership and industry praise solidifies its status as a major title in the webtoon space.
For international readers, the official English version of the webtoon is available through the digital platform Lezhin US.
The series follows the complex relationship between a student and his teaching assistant.
The platform describes the premise: After returning to campus as a sophomore, Uyun encounters Jinhyeong, the socially awkward yet strikingly handsome T.A., and makes an impulsive confession.
This leads to the two unexpectedly becoming roommates.
Just as their relationship begins to intensify, Jinhyeong halts their progression after a passionate kiss, revealing he harbors a very specific fantasy regarding physical intimacy.
The core tension explores what this fantasy entails and if the pair can navigate their high expectations and complicated reality to move forward together.
The series originally ran on Peanutoon in Korea before moving its serialization to Bomtoon after the former platform abruptly shut down.
Since its transition, the series has maintained a strong readership on Bomtoon, successfully building significant momentum leading up to the launch of the animated series.
