Kyousuke Motomi's "Dengeki Daisy" Manga Gets Anime Adaptation in 2027
Exciting news has arrived: Kyousuke Motomi's beloved manga "Dengeki Daisy" (Electric Daisy) is coming to TV as an anime in 2027. According to the announcement from Natalie, one of Japan's leading anime news sources, Studio Deen, which has produced many iconic works over the years, has been assigned as the animation studio. This decision is very meaningful for fans of the series, as Studio Deen's success in works such as Ranma ½, Hetalia: Axis Powers, and more recently Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon proves its ability to combine classic and modern animation styles.
"Dengeki Daisy" was first serialized in Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine from 2007 to 2013, and completed in 16 volumes. The story follows high school student Teru Kurebayashi, who is left alone after losing her younger brother, and her relationship with a mysterious hacker named "Daisy" who protects her. Events develop when Teru discovers that the strict vice principal Tasuku Kurosaki, whom she meets at her new school, is actually Daisy. The series is known for its balanced blend of romance, comedy, and mystery elements. Kyousuke Motomi won the Shogakukan Manga Award in 2009 for this work.
Although many details about the anime adaptation have not yet been shared, more information about the production team and release date is expected in the coming months. Preparations for the 2027 release are reportedly underway. Studio Deen's ability to skillfully handle dark atmospheres and romantic moments seems like a perfect fit for a story like "Dengeki Daisy", which is both emotional and action-packed. Additionally, the series has a global fan base through its English translations published by Viz Media in America and Europe.
So why is this news so important? "Dengeki Daisy" was one of the leading representatives of the late 2000s shoujo manga movement. It is a rare example that combines a strong female character, a technology-themed love story, and psychological depth. The anime adaptation, reviving the spirit of the era with modern animation techniques, seems likely to attract both old fans and new viewers. Although 2027 still seems far away, this announcement has already increased interest in the series. Stay tuned for official announcements and a possible trailer from publisher Shogakukan.
