The previously announced Giji Harem anime adaptation revealed a teaser trailer on Wednesday along with the main cast. Studio NOMAD (Dropkick on My Devil!, Alice Gear Aegis Expansion) is animating the series. Fans can watch the new teaser trailer below:
Toshihiro Kikuchi, known as an animation director, is directing Giji Harem. Yuko Kakihara (Orange, Cells at Work) is in charge of series composition and Yoshihisa Sato is in charge of character design. Previously announced cast members include Nobuhiko Okamoto in the role Eiji Kitahama and Saori Hayami as Rin Nanakura.
The Giji Harem anime adaptation was first announced in April 2023 and is based on the manga series written and illustrated by Yu Saito. It was originally published as a webcomic on Saito’s Twitter account from June 2018 to March 2021 but was later serialized in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine from January 2019 to March 2021. The manga ended with chapter 157 and released a total of six printed volumes.
The series follows Eiji, a second-year high school student and member of the school’s drama club as a stage actor. During his time in the drama club, he meets Rin, a first-year high school student and member of the same drama club. It’s worth noting that Eiji longs for a manga-like harem, while Rin plays a “character” in Eiji’s fantasy harem.
There is currently no release date for the Giji Harem anime series.
