The Fruit of Evolution: Before I Knew It, My Life Had It Made is an adaptation of the light novels written by Miku and illustrated by U35. The first season aired during the Fall 2021 anime season with 12 episodes.

Hanashi Media describes the source material as:

One day, Hiragi Seiichi’s entire school is transported to another world. As he wanders through a mysterious forest alone, however, he is ‘attacked’ by a gorilla.

“Me, never sleep with man before. Be gentle.”

All Saria wants is to be close to him. Just when he begins opening his heart to the feminine simian, however, tragedy strikes.

Can the strength of their bond—and the mysterious Fruits of Evolution they’ve both consumed—bring about a miracle?
A lighthearted fantasy-comedy romp through a fantasy world!
