The official anime website announced Friday that AnimeFesta will begin early streaming on September 11 at 5:00 p.m. JST. WWWave Corporation’s anime streaming platform OceanVeil confirmed it will carry the series that same day.
The television adaptation is titled The Shy Snow Woman and the Cursed Ring (Hitozukiai ga Nigate na Mibōjin no Yuki Onna-san to Noroi no Yubiwa). It adapts an adult dōjin manga by Puuzaki Puuna, also known as Puu no Puupuupuu or Zeroshiki Kōichi.

Puuzaki Puuna said in a comment that the television anime will tell an original story that differs from the manga.
The manga follows a landlord who discovers a ring capable of controlling creatures such as yōkai. He uses it on a snow woman who lives in one of his apartments.
Two full-color manga volumes have been published so far. Irodori Comics released both in English; the links to those editions are NSFW.
In the original announcement, Puuzaki Puuna claimed this would be the first adult dōjin manga adapted directly for television without a separate commercial edition first. Numerous adult dōjin manga have received long-running adult anime adaptations, but those are all OVAs.
