ZENSHU

ZENSHU is an original TV anime produced by MAPPA, blending romance, workplace drama, and music and art into a modern romantic comedy with a lively, contemporary flair. The series is conceived and directed by Mitsue Yamazaki, with series composition by Kimiko Ueno. Centered on Natsuko Hirose and Luke Braveheart, this original work brings together harem and romcom sensibilities in a stylish, art-infused modern setting. Fans of workplace romance and creative storytelling will find ZENSHU a compelling original production from one of anime's most prominent studios.

ZENSHU follows the journey of a remarkably gifted young woman navigating the demanding world of anime production. Natsuko Hirose enters the industry fresh out of high school, and her exceptional abilities allow her to rise through the ranks at a breathtaking pace, making her directorial debut in record time. Her first anime captivates audiences across the country, becoming a full-blown cultural phenomenon and cementing her reputation as a prodigious new voice in the industry. With such a spectacular start, expectations for her next project couldn't be higher. The upcoming film is a romantic comedy centered on the theme of first love — but there's one major problem. Natsuko has never experienced romance herself, leaving her completely at a loss when it comes to capturing the essence of first love. Unable to put pen to storyboard, the production grinds to a halt. Can a director who has never loved find a way to tell a story that speaks to the heart?
