The TV anime 'Otome Kaijuu Caramelize' (internationally known as 'Kaiju Girl Caramelise'), announced for July 2026, has released a new global visual. The illustration shows the gigantic monster Harugon suddenly appearing in an urban landscape, along with the student Arata Minami standing directly in front of her. The image is intended to highlight the tension between the two characters and the unusual love story.
The anime adaptation is based on the manga of the same name by Spica Aoki, which has been serialized in the magazine 'Monthly Comic Alive' (KADOKAWA) since February 2018. The story revolves around high school student Kuroe Akaishi (nicknamed Chloe), who suffers from a mysterious condition: whenever her emotions overflow, part of her body transforms into a monster. As fate would have it, the popular classmate Arata Minami begins to take an interest in her—triggering uncontrollable transformations. The manga has now reached a total circulation of over 300,000 copies.
The series will air from July 2, 2026, on TBS (Thursdays from 1:28 AM), BS11, and AT-X. One day after the TV premiere, episodes will be available as a simulcast on streaming services U-NEXT, Anime Houdai, and dAnime Store; additional platforms will follow from July 5.
The production is handled by Studio Liden Films. The director is Teruyuki Omine, with series composition by Yuniko Ayana. Character design is by Mitsumi Nakayama (NUT). The German version of this article omits the full voice cast list, but it should be noted that the main role of Kuroe is voiced by Hikari Senga, and Arata is portrayed by Daishi Kajita.
The opening theme 'Otome Kaijū' is by the band METANICK, while the ending theme 'Otome no Honki' is contributed by HoneyWorks featuring HaKoniwalily.
A special highlight is the participation at Anime Expo in Los Angeles (South Hall 1520, Pony Canyon Booth). There, a peel-off wall over five meters wide and three meters high will be set up, featuring special stickers of the global visual that visitors can peel off. Additionally, there will be an interactive area where attendees can try on costume parts such as the protagonist's tail and horns and take photos. Concurrently, a North American premiere will take place on July 3, 2026, in Panel Room 403AB, where both the first and second episodes of the anime will be shown.
