The children's book series "Yuruyuru Zukan" published by Gakken is being adapted into a television anime. The series will start in October 2026 and will air on Sundays at 7:00 AM as part of the TV Tokyo programming block "Animori!", which runs across six stations of the TV Tokyo network.
"Yuruyuru Zukan" has been published since June 2017 and has established itself with a concept that makes even fearsome creatures accessible through cute illustrations and four-panel manga. The books convey interesting facts about animals, their unexpected traits, and curious trivia in an entertaining way. The series has achieved a total circulation of over 1.24 million copies (as of June 2026).
The anime adaptation captures the charm of the source material and focuses on a lighthearted short format that brings the relaxed world and the distinctive creatures to life. Movements and staging, which only the television medium can offer, are intended to further enhance the lovability and humor of the characters.
The production is being carried out as part of the joint project "Animation ID" by Imagica Infos and Dai Nippon Printing (DNP). Further details such as the responsible studio, voice cast, or exact episode length are still pending and are expected to be announced in the coming weeks. The official website and the official X account (formerly Twitter) have already opened to provide updates on the series.
