A promotional flyer for Media Factory's MF Bunko J imprint has announced that a television anime adaptation of Akinari Matsuno and QP:flapper's MM! light novel series has been green-lit. The story follows Tarō Sado, a high school boy who discovered a side of himself that is into masochism. Even as he tries to hide this side from his high school crush, he tries to fix it through his school's "2nd Volunteer Club."

Matsuno launched the light novel series in 2007 with illustrations by the artist duo QP:flapper, and Media Factory is shipping the ninth volume on March 25. Issei Hyōju has been drawing a manga adaptation in Media Factory's Monthly Comic Alive magazine since 2008, and the third compiled book volume of the manga ships on March 23. (A drama CD also ships on March 24.)
