During an event for the "A Certain" franchise last weekend, new details about the implementation of the spin-off light novel series were announced. The anime adaptation of "A Certain Dark Side's Girl Cohabitation (Item)" is set to begin airing on Japanese television in the course of 2026.
A first promotional image provides a glimpse into the staging. The illustration shows the four central characters of the story: Shizuri Mugino, Frenda Seivelun, Rikou Takitsubo, and Saiai Kinuhata, walking together through an urban landscape characterized by light and shadow. On a pedestrian bridge in the background, a single, additional silhouette can be seen.
The production is handled by Studio J.C.STAFF, which is already known for the previous offshoots of the series. The direction is undertaken by Tatsuyuki Nagai, who previously directed "A Certain Scientific Railgun." The character design for the series is created by Shigeki Kimoto.
The voice actress for Shizuri Mugino, Ami Koshimizu, expressed surprise in an initial comment that her character is now at the center of its own production. She stated her intention to fill the role with the mix of biting insults and energetic beam attacks characteristic of the character. A stage appearance with the voice actresses is also planned for the end of March at the AnimeJapan 2026 convention.
