More than ten years after he closed his last page, Dengeki Daisy returns. Aniplex opened the anime's official website on June 8, confirming the adaptation of Kyousuke Motomi's classic shojo manga with a premiere scheduled for 2027. The announcement was accompanied by a special illustration drawn by the author herself to mark the occasion, a detail that speaks to the level of personal enthusiasm that Motomi has with this project.
Production
will be handled by Studio DEEN, with Sota Ueno directing
and Sawako Hirabayashi overseeing the scripts. The character
design is the work of Ayaka Murakami, and the music is composed
by Masaru Yokoyama, whose work in drama and action series makes it
a choice that fits the emotional tone of the story. For now there is no
information about the voice cast or additional details of the team; These data
are expected in the coming months.
The story
follows Teru Kurebayashi, a high school student who lost her older
brother and maintains connection to the world through the text messages she
exchanges with someone who identifies only as DAISY. At the
same time, a young man named Tasuku Kurosaki appears
repeatedly whenever Teru needs help, which awakens in her the question that
sustains the entire narrative: could DAISY be much closer than she thinks?

Daisy is a
manga by Kyousuke Motomi published in Shogakukan's Monthly
Betsucomi magazine between 2007 and 2013, collected in sixteen volumes

January 2026, he released a new manga titled Yaoyorozu Toriatsukai
