Nearly 20 years after the start of the manga series and over a decade after the conclusion of the 16-volume series, "Dengeki Daisy" is finally coming to screens as a TV anime. Officially confirmed by Aniplex on June 9, 2026, following a mysterious countdown campaign, the anime is set to air in 2027. Studio DEEN, known for works like "Days With My Stepsister" and "Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table," is handling the animation, bringing experience in blending emotional drama and suspense.
The story of "Dengeki Daisy" follows 16-year-old high school student Teru Kurebayashi, who is left alone after the death of her brother Soichiro. Her only comfort is an anonymous person named "DAISY," who sends her encouraging messages via the phone he left behind. When she accidentally breaks a school window, she is forced to work as a maid for the grumpy janitor Tasuku Kurosaki. Despite his rough demeanor, he proves to be a protector with a deep secret connecting Teru's brother and the identity of DAISY. The mix of romantic comedy and psychological suspense made the series one of the most successful shōjo titles of the 2000s. It originally ran from May 2007 to October 2013 in the magazine Betsucomi (Shogakukan) and sold over five million copies worldwide. In North America, it was licensed by Viz Media.
The main producers have already unveiled a teaser visual showing the protagonists Teru, Tasuku, and the symbolic blue daisy flower, accompanied by the line "No matter what happens – I'll protect you." The creative direction is led by director Sota Ueno, who previously directed "Days With My Stepsister." Series composition is handled by Sawako Hirabayashi ("Wolf Girl and Black Prince"), character design by Ayaka Murakami ("Days With My Stepsister"), and music by Masaru Yokoyama ("Fate/Grand Order – Absolute Demonic Front").
To mark the announcement, author Kyousuke Motomi contributed a specially drawn congratulatory illustration and commented: "I heard that 'Dengeki Daisy' is being animated – is that really true? It seems to be true. Unbelievable! That one day I can see Teru and Kurosaki moving... I'm already looking forward to the broadcast in 2027." Director Ueno emphasized that he wants to capture the story "from silly things to things that really matter, from wounds you can't understand to unforgivable pasts – every single time, every single time – time after time – embrace it all and live together." Series composer Hirabayashi highlighted the nostalgic appeal of the 2000s "Garakei" flip phones, which played a special role in the plot.
With the announcement, the official website (dengeki-daisy.com) and X account (@daisyanimepr) went live, where further details on voice actors, start date, and new previews are expected in the coming months.
