The highly anticipated anime adaptation of the award-winning manga "Dengeki Daisy" by Kyousuke Motomi is taking shape. As announced by the official production committee and the involved studios, the two main roles have been cast with renowned voice actors. The protagonist Teru Kurebayashi will be voiced by Yoshino Aoyama, while the role of the school janitor Yu Kurosaki goes to Taku Yashiro. This decision coincided with the release of a first teaser promotional video, which showcases animated scenes and the characters' voices for the first time.
The manga, originally serialized from 2007 to 2013 in the magazine "Betsucomi" (Shogakukan) and sold over five million copies worldwide, tells the story of high school student Teru Kurebayashi. After the death of her brother Souta, the only thing that keeps her going is a mysterious message received on his left-behind phone from a sender named "DAISY." One day, Teru accidentally breaks a window and is forced to work as an assistant to the janitor Yu Kurosaki. Kurosaki, a blonde, gruff loner, soon reveals himself to be a far more complex character who protects Teru in unexpected ways and fundamentally changes her fate.
In their statements, the voice actors expressed high motivation. Yoshino Aoyama, known for her multifaceted roles, said: "It fills me with great joy to bring Kyousuke Motomi's world to life through animation. Teru's character experiences all emotions, and I will give it my all." Taku Yashiro, who has demonstrated his versatility in numerous anime productions, commented: "I want to fully commit to this role to authentically portray Kurosaki's eventful life. I hope many viewers will enjoy this series."
The production team includes experienced talents: Direction is by Sodai Ueno, series composition by Sawako Hirabayashi, character design by Ayaka Murakami, and musical score by Kei Yokoyama. Animation production is handled by the renowned studio DEEN, known for numerous literary adaptations. The production is overseen by the "Dengeki Daisy" production committee, which includes Aniplex.
The teaser PV, released on the official YouTube channel and website, offers first glimpses into the character designs and the series' atmosphere. The TV anime is scheduled for broadcast in 2027. Further details, such as the exact air date and additional cast, are expected in the coming months. Fans can look forward to seeing how the heartfelt story of loss, trust, and hidden identity is brought to the screen.
