The manga series Dekin no Mogura by Natsumi Eguchi, known for Hozuki’s Coolheadedness, will be adapted into a TV anime in July 2025. Along with the announcement, a teaser visual, a promo video, and initial voice actor details were released.

The ongoing manga, serialized in the magazine Morning (Kodansha), blends supernatural elements with comedy. It centers on Mogura, a self-proclaimed "hermit" who claims he cannot die because he was "banished from the afterlife." The story humorously recounts the bizarre and mysterious occurrences that Mogura and the people around him experience in this world.

The teaser visual features Mogura holding a lantern on the gloomy yet atmospherically enchanting Chuto Street. The promo video showcases several scenes that highlight Mogura’s mysterious yet comical aura.

The role of Mogura, who collects "lights" of spirits in a lantern to guide them on their journey to the afterlife, is voiced by Yuichi Nakamura. His voice, heard for the first time in the promo video, captures Mogura’s multifaceted personality. Nakamura describes the character as a balance of levity, seriousness, and humor.

The direction is handled by Hiroshi Ishiotori, while the animation studio Brain’s Base is responsible for production.
