Premise of Chuhai Lips: Canned Flavor of Married Women
Chuhai Lips: Canned Flavor of Married Women (人妻の唇は缶チューハイの味がして, Hitozuma no Kuchibiru wa Kan Chūhai no Aji ga Shite) is based on the manga series written by Chinjao Musume and illustrated by Tama Nogami. The story revolves around Tsuyoshi, a college student with a fondness for strong canned chuhai (a Japanese alcoholic drink made from shōchū and carbonated water), and his encounters with various married women.
The manga, which began serialization on Kodansha’s YanMaga Web manga website in February 2021, is an omnibus series that explores the “sinful” relationships and experiences of Tsuyoshi with these women, each with their own unique problems and allure. The anime adaptation aims to capture the slight sense of guilt and elation, and the intoxicating atmosphere of these encounters.

One interesting aspect of the Chuhai Lips anime is that it will have two versions: a “Broadcast” version and a “Deregula” version. These versions feature different voice actors for the main characters.
