The April issue of Shueisha's Bessatsu Margaret magazine is confirming on Friday that the previously announced Himōto! Umaru-chan anime project will be a television anime series, and that it will premiere in July. More details will be announced in the project's website and in further issues of Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump magazine.

The sibling gag comedy manga centers around Umaru, Taihei's little sister who boasts beautiful looks as well as prowess in both school and sports. However, "Himōto" (beautiful little sister) has a certain secret.

Sankaku Head launched the manga in Weekly Young Jump in 2013 (after running an earlier two-chapter Himōto! Umaru-chan! version in Miracle Jump in 2012), and Shueisha will publish the fifth compiled book volume on March 19.
