Dengeki Daisy Shojo Manga Gets TV Anime by Studio Deen for 2027, Aniplex Produces

Kyosuke Motomi's shojo manga Dengeki Daisy is officially getting a TV anime adaptation set to premiere in 2027. Studio Deen will handle the animation, with Aniplex producing the project, which was revealed after a cryptic countdown website teased the announcement.

A Beloved Shojo Gets Its Anime Debut

Dengeki Daisy originally ran in Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine from May 2007 to October 2013, spanning 16 volumes. The manga follows Teru Kurebayashi, a 16-year-old girl whose older brother passes away but leaves her with a mobile phone connected to a mysterious hacker known only as "Daisy." When Teru accidentally breaks a school window, she ends up working under the gruff school janitor Kurosaki to pay off the damage unaware that he harbors secrets closely tied to the enigmatic Daisy.

The series blends romance, comedy, and suspense through its central dynamic between Teru and Kurosaki, earning a dedicated fanbase over its six-year run. Viz Media published the English-language edition, giving the title a strong following among international shojo readers as well.

Main Staff Revealed

The announcement came alongside the reveal of key creative staff for the adaptation. Sota Ueno, who previously directed Days with My Stepsister and Shiboyugi: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table, will helm the series as director. Sawako Hirabayashi is handling series composition, while Ayaka Murakami is serving as character designer. Composer Masaru Yokoyama, known for his work across numerous anime productions, will provide the music.

Cast details have not yet been announced, meaning voice actor reveals are likely to follow in the months ahead as production progresses toward the 2027 premiere window.

Studio Deen and Aniplex Team Up

Studio Deen is a veteran animation studio with decades of shojo and romance adaptations under its belt, making it a natural fit for Dengeki Daisy's blend of drama and comedy. Aniplex's involvement as producer signals significant backing for the project, given the company's track record of supporting high-profile anime releases with robust marketing and distribution.

The adaptation arrives nearly two decades after the manga first began serialization in 2007, placing Dengeki Daisy among a growing wave of classic shojo titles receiving anime adaptations years or even decades after their original publication. This trend has seen renewed interest in beloved manga properties as studios look to tap into established fanbases while introducing these stories to a new generation of viewers.

What to Expect

With a 2027 premiere confirmed and key staff in place, additional details such as a teaser visual, cast announcements, and a more specific release window are expected to surface over the coming months. For fans of the original manga, the adaptation represents a long-awaited opportunity to see Teru and Kurosaki's story brought to life on screen by a team with strong credentials in the romance and drama space.
