Are You a Landmine, Chihara-san? Anime to Start in January 2027: New Voice Cast Announced
Are You a Landmine, Chihara-san? (Jirai nandesu ka? Jihara-san) has received an exciting update. The adaptation of Ryon's manga of the same name will premiere in Japan in January 2027 on MBS/TBS's "Super Animeism TURBO" block. Along with the new information, three important voice actors joining the series were also announced.
In addition to the previously announced main cast, well-known industry names such as Maaya Uchida (Darkness in KonoSuba, Sharo in GochiUsa), Tomokazu Sugita (Gintoki in Gintama, Joseph in JoJo), and Daisuke Ono (Jotaro in JoJo, Midorima in Kuroko's Basketball) have joined the project. Although which characters they will voice has not yet been specified, this cast has raised expectations considerably.
Additionally, the series' music project is also attracting attention. It was announced that a music project led by Mai Jihara will be realized in connection with the anime. This project is expected to include opening or ending themes. Music groups named after characters are common in the anime world, which could be an extra surprise for fans of the series.
The original manga is written and illustrated by Ryon and is serialized in Young Jump magazine. The story follows Chihara, a girl who hurts everyone around her like a "landmine," and a male student who tries to understand her, in sweet and funny events. The manga quickly gained a large fanbase with its unique concept in the romantic comedy genre.
Although the delay of the anime adaptation to 2027 disappointed some fans, the strong voice cast and music project announcement keep the excitement alive. Who will sit in the director's chair and other technical details are expected to be announced in the coming months. It's time to mark your calendars for those who don't want to miss this romantic comedy set in a minefield!
