Production
Team with Experience in the Supernatural
Hiroshi
Ishiodori (Kiss Him, Not Me, Peach Girl, RINNE 3) is directing at Brains Base
Studio. Shinzō Fujita (To Your Eternity, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Children) is
overseeing the scripts, while Yōko Tanabe (Tonari no Yōkai-san) is in charge of

A
supernatural mystery with very Japanese humor
The
original manga, published by Kodansha since April 2021 in Morning magazine,
tells the strange experiences of university students Magi and Yaeko. It all
begins when they see a Kōjien dictionary fall on a man's head. Although he's
bleeding, he asks them not to call the police or an ambulance. From that moment
on, they both begin to experience supernatural phenomena.
The series
combines mystery, absurd humor, and paranormal elements, following the author's
other works such as Hozuki no Reitetsu. The tenth volume of the manga will be
released in Japan on July 23. With a plot that blends the bizarre with the
existential, Dekin no Mogura promises to be one of the most curious and
original offerings of the summer.
