Perfect Addiction is closing out its first season. The anime adaptation of Kaoruko Miyama’s popular boys-love manga has been airing weekly since July 8, 2026, and the final episode of Season 1 is almost here. Episode 12, titled Chapter 12, is scheduled to arrive on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, bringing the story of Akihito Kuji and Sae Takatsuki to its first major turning point.
For viewers who have been following this short-form anime since the summer, the finale promises to deliver the emotional payoff that the last few episodes have been building toward. The series runs for only about 5 minutes per episode, making it an easy watch for anyone who wants a quick but intense story about two college students who cannot stand each other at first and then find themselves pulled into something far more complicated.

Where to Watch Perfect Addiction Episode 12
The main international streaming home for Perfect Addiction is OceanVeil, the platform operated by WWWave Corporation. OceanVeil has been releasing each episode of the light anime on the same day as the Japanese broadcast, with English subtitles available from the moment of release.
For viewers in Southeast Asia, the series streams on Ani-One Asia. In Germany and parts of Europe, the anime is available through the Aniverse Amazon Channel, which offers the series with German subtitles in a simulcast format.
The series is not available on Netflix or Crunchyroll at this time. The production is handled by Imagica Infos, and the short episode format has kept the show on specialized anime streaming services rather than larger general entertainment platforms.
What Happened in Episode 11
Episode 11, which aired on September 16, 2026, pushed the relationship between Akihito and Sae into much deeper emotional territory. The episode focused on the fallout from the moment when Akihito discovered Sae’s secret — that the cool, untouchable student he had been clashing with was actually struggling with loneliness and a deep desire for a real connection.
The story began with Akihito Kuji, a college student who cares about appearances and enjoys casual relationships, developing an intense irritation toward Sae Takatsuki. Sae is beautiful, composed, and completely uninterested in Akihito’s usual charms. Things reached a breaking point at a group date when a girl Akihito was interested in made it clear that she only had eyes for Sae.
Later that night, Akihito stumbled upon Sae arguing with a man in a hotel district. Seeing Sae in such a vulnerable state was a shock. The usually controlled and distant Sae looked completely different. Akihito, provoked by this contrast, pushed Sae down — and Sae’s unexpected reaction caused Akihito to lose control completely.
Episode 11 continued this thread by showing how both characters were forced to confront feelings they had been avoiding. Sae’s secret — that his perfect exterior hid a very different reality — became the central emotional weight of the episode. The episode ended with the two of them on the edge of something neither had planned for.
What to Expect from the Finale
Episode 12 is titled Chapter 12, matching the naming pattern the series has used for every episode so far. The finale is expected to resolve the immediate tension between Akihito and Sae while leaving room for the story to continue beyond Season 1. The manga by Kaoruko Miyama is still ongoing, and the anime has covered only the early chapters of the source material.
The voice cast for the series features Youhei Azakami as Akihito Kuji and Soma Saito as Sae Takatsuki. The anime is part of the BALLOON Project, a initiative that produces short-form anime adaptations of popular manga titles.
Season 1 consists of 12 episodes, with each episode running approximately 5 minutes. The show premiered on July 8, 2026, and has maintained a consistent weekly Wednesday release schedule throughout its run.
