We recently reported that the manga " Mono ,"
written and illustrated by Afro , also the author of
" Yuru Camp ," would be adapted into an anime. At
that time, the press release showed us the first promotional video and some
basic details about the production team, but many questions still remained
(previous news).
Now,
following the airing of the third episode this weekend, a second new main
trailer for the television series has been revealed. The anime began airing in
Japan on April 13, 2025, and is expected to have a total of 12 episodes. The
new trailer highlights scenes from the first two episodes, showcasing the Film
Photo Club's everyday adventures in various local locations, as well as giving
a glimpse into some scenes from future episodes.
Additionally,
more production team members working on the adaptation were revealed. Ryota
Aikei (assistant director on "Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2") is
directing the series, while Takuya Miyahara ("Frederica,"
"Shikimori's Not Just a Cutie") is in charge of character designs,
and Yoko Yonaiyama ("A Sign of Affection") is the
main scriptwriter. Animation production is being handled by Soigne
Studio.
With each
new trailer, "Mono" promises to continue delivering the endearing,
relaxed stories that characterize Afro's style. We'll definitely be
keeping an eye on how this charming adaptation develops!
