Romantic comedy centers on no-nonsense systems engineer who turns into cheerful drunk
The official X/Twitter account for WWWave Corporation‘s Continuer boys-love manga label announced on August 12 that Umiko Seto‘s Osake ni Yowai Andō-san (The Alcohol-Lightweight Andō-san) manga has an AnimeFesta anime adaptation in the works. The announcement did not reveal more details on the anime. Seto drew the below illustration to celebrate thenews:

The manga’s story centers on the titular Andō, a serious-minded and no-nonsense systems engineer at work. His co-worker Kikuchi has tried for a year to get a smile out of him to no avail, until an opportunity allows him to see Andō being an alcohol lightweight, and the stoic man shows a new clumsy, cheerful, and seductive side to him.
Seto launched the manga in WWWave Corporation‘s ComicFesta website under the Continuer label in October 2024. Suiseisha published the manga’s first compiled book volume in November 2025, and will release the second volume on September 18.
WWWave Corporation owns the ComicFesta web manga service, as well as the AnimeFesta anime programming block. AnimeFesta (formerly Anime Zone and ComicFesta Anime) has produced short anime adaptations of more than 30 manga from ComicFesta in the past eight years, with many of the manga being adult or risqué in nature. The first AnimeFesta anime was On a Lustful Night Mingling with a Priest (Sōryo to Majiwaru Shikiyoku no Yoru ni…), whose Japanese title has led to AnimeFesta anime sometimes being called “Sōryo-waku” (Sōryo-type) by fans. Most of the anime series have two different versions: a “broadcast” version (the censored version aired on television), and a “premium” uncensored version distributed online. WWWave Corporation releases many of the anime titles in English on its Coolmic website, and recently began releasing anime on OceanVeil.
