October 2026 puts Firefly Wedding on Noitamina — not a late-night filler slot
Hotaru no Yomeiri’s TV anime is dated for October 2026 on Fuji TV’s Noitamina block. That branding matters: Noitamina is where Fuji parks prestige / offbeat adult-leaning shows, which matches Tachibana’s sold-into-marriage historical romance better than a generic Fall harem grid.
david production + Kamei is the real production signal — not just “Fall 2026 TBA”
JoJo’s studio taking a historical romance, with Kamei fresh off Urusei Yatsura and Aikei on character design, is a specific pipeline. Treat that staff card as confirmed; treat any fake single-day “September 30” leak as noise until Fuji prints the Noitamina clock.

“Firefly Wedding” sounds soft — the manga premise is a coerced marriage in a dangerous household
English SEO softens Hotaru no Yomeiri into something almost festival-cute. The serial’s hook is a girl sold into a high-stakes marriage arrangement with lethal politics around it. Expect Noitamina tone, not a pure fluffy wedding-arc comedy, when October lands.
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about this release date.
1When does Firefly Wedding premiere?
October 2026 on Fuji TV’s Noitamina block (and affiliates). Staff locked the month; this page’s October 1 stamp is the working day until the exact Thursday/Friday Noitamina night posts.
2Which studio is adapting it?
david production, directed by Takahiro Kamei (recent Urusei Yatsura reboot). Yukiko Aikei designs characters; Yūko Kakihara handles series composition; Nogrid composes. Crunchyroll will stream.
3What is the story about?
Oreko Tachibana’s historical romance manga Hotaru no Yomeiri follows a girl pushed into a dangerous marriage arrangement — period setting and dark-romantic tension, not a modern school rom-com despite the “wedding” English title.
4Is the manga finished before the anime airs?
The manga began January 2023 on MangaONE / Ura Sunday and ran into 2026 volume releases. October’s cour adapts that serial — check Viz/Comikey for English chapters rather than assuming a finished-book-only adaptation.
