Tasokare Hotel: Webtoon adaptation starts, TV anime follows in 2025

The webtoon adaptation of the popular game Tasokare Hotel began today, December 26, on the manga app comipo. Six chapters were released at launch, with the first three being free to read. At the same time, the TV anime version is scheduled to air on January 8, 2025.

The story takes place in the "Twilight Hotel," a mysterious location where time remains in eternal dusk. Here, souls linger who have yet to decide whether to move on to the afterlife or return to the world of the living. The protagonist, Otoko Tsukahara, finds herself in a state between life and death with no memory of how she got there. Under the guidance of the hotel manager, she is hired as a staff member.

The hotel's guests are similarly enigmatic souls who have lost their memories—including eccentric characters like a man with a head made of pachinko balls, a masked couple, and a person with a pansy flower for a head. As Otoko helps them recover their memories, she harbors a secret goal of her own.

The webtoon is written by Hikaru Takeno and Atsuko Aizawa. The cover illustration is by Retsuna, storyboards by Kamima, and original artwork by Konjō Ice.
