The start of the TV anime adaptation of Spica Aoki's manga "Otome Kaijuu Caramelize" (also known as "Kaiju Girl Caramelise") is drawing closer. On July 2, 2026, at 1:28 AM (JST), the first episode will air on TBS, followed by broadcasts on BS11 and AT-X. The plot of the first episode as well as initial scene images have now been released.
The series tells the story of high school student Kuroe Akaishi, who has suffered from a mysterious affliction since childhood: Whenever her emotions boil over, parts of her body transform in a monstrous way. Fearing rejection, she avoids contact with others—until she happens to meet Arata Minami, the most popular boy at school. In the first episode, titled "The Girl Monster Appears in Tokyo," Kuroe gets closer to Arata, but her budding love triggers uncontrollable transformations.
Alongside the main cast members Hikari Senga as Kuroe and Daishi Kajita as Arata, the cast includes Akira Sekine, Haruka Shiraishi, Kotono Mitsuishi, Katsuyuki Konishi, and Eriko Matsui. The director is Teruyuki Omine (LIDENFILMS), the screenplay is by Yuniko Ayana, the character design is by Mitsumi Nakayama (NUT), and the music is contributed by Shinnosuke Nakasone and Yuki Furuhashi. The series is produced by Good Smile Film.
Already announced in advance are the opening theme "Otome Kaiju" by the metal anime song unit METANICK and the ending theme "Otome no Honki" by HoneyWorks feat. Hakoniwa Lily. Alongside the series, the cross-platform "Amereze! Kuroe Kawaii Project" will launch, which includes radio content and collaborations with the magazine "Comic Alive."
The first episode will be available for streaming on U-NEXT, Anime Houdai, and dAnime Store after the TV broadcast at 2:00 AM (JST); a one-week catch-up option will be available on TVer. Additional platforms will follow starting July 5. The manga, which has been serialized in "Monthly Comic Alive" since 2018, has already sold over 230,000 copies in Japan.
