New Trailer from Kore Kaite Shine: A Journey into Teacher Tejima's Past and a Song from Regal Lily

A new promotional video has been released for the highly anticipated manga adaptation Kore Kaite Shine (Draw and Die). The second trailer focuses on the past of Teacher Tejima, one of the story's most mysterious characters, and offers glimpses of his youth referred to as 'Lost World'. Along with this announcement, it was revealed that the anime's ending theme will be the original song 'Conifer' performed by the band Regal Lily.

The anime, adapted from the manga of the same name by mangaka Minoru Toyoda, follows Matsuri, a young aspiring comic artist, who begins working as an intern under the famous and somewhat antisocial mangaka Yamato Tejima. While the first trailer focused more on the dynamics of the main characters, this new video hints at a love story from Tejima's youth and the traumatic events underlying his art. The visual style of the trailer reflects the series' melancholic yet inspiring spirit.

The ending song 'Conifer' will accompany the anime's emotional scenes with Regal Lily's signature indie-rock sound. Although the band has provided songs for many anime before, this time they have crafted a piece perfectly suited to the story's spirit. The themes of 'pain of creation' and 'confronting the past' that Toyoda's work often evokes in the manga pages are also reflected in the lyrics of this song. At the end of the trailer, while no clear information about the anime's release date is given, there are rumors that it will meet the audience in the summer 2025 season.

Minoru Toyoda is an author previously known for the manga Love and Lies (Koi to Uso). His character depth and dialogue elevate Kore Kaite Shine beyond an ordinary 'art world' story, turning it into a drama that confronts the dark side of creativity. The anime adaptation is being handled by studio Yokohama Animation Lab, which has produced many popular series. Another notable detail in the trailer is that the 'Lost World' chapter has been animated in black-and-white and sepia tones — a tribute to Toyoda's flashback scenes in the manga.

For readers following the series, this trailer is especially exciting because it opens a detailed visual window into the secret of Tejima, one of the most intriguing characters in the manga, for the first time. With the anime's release, Toyoda's work is expected to reach a wider audience. More information about the trailer and a release date announcement are likely in the coming weeks.
