Koichi Kikuta's Character Design as the Biggest Highlight

Koichi Kikuta, in charge of character design, previously worked on the phenomenal anime KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World! and excels at depicting exaggerated, lively character expressions in motion.

Director Rihito Suzuki, who previously directed I Want to Be a Magical Girl, is expected to deliver fast-paced and tense direction.

Story Introduction for Dara-san of Reiwa

Dara-san of Reiwa follows a pair of modern-day siblings who accidentally wander into a forbidden area deep in the mountains, awakening a sealed, terrifying supernatural entity known as "Yakuwari Dara." However, what should have been a bloody, horrifying encounter turns into a heartwarming and hilarious cohabitation comedy, thanks to this "Dara-san"—a frightening-looking but lazy, somewhat easygoing entity.

This work gained explosive popularity on social media due to its unique "gap moe" appeal. Although Dara-san appears as a fearsome ancient deity, she often displays clumsy and adorable reactions when faced with the novelties of the Reiwa era.
