A flyer from this year's AnimeJapan 2017 event revealed on Thursday that the anime adaptation of Hari Tokeino's Gakuen Babysitters manga will be a television anime that will premiere in the first quarter of 2018 on Tokyo MX, BS11, and Animax. The anime's timeslot will be announced at a later date, but will be "around midnight." The anime will have 12 episodes.

Tokeino launched the series in LaLa in 2009, and Hakusensha published the manga's 13th compiled volume on August 5. Hakusensha will publish the manga's 14th compiled volume on April 5.

The manga centers on the brothers Ryūichi and Kotarō Kashima. Ryūichi is in high school and Kotarō is still a toddler. After their parents are killed in a plane crash, the two brothers find themselves living with the chairwoman of the Morinomiya Academy, who herself lost her son and daughter-in-law in the same accident. The chairwoman, however, has one stipulation for the brothers in order to live with her: Ryūichi has to work at the academy's daycare center as a babysitter.
