Dengeki Daisy (電撃デイジー), the manga by Kyousuke Motomi, has officially been announced for a TV anime adaptation scheduled to air in 2027. It was also revealed that production will be handled by Studio Deen.
Synopsis
Dengeki Daisy is a romance-suspense story centered on a high school girl named Teru Kurebayashi. After losing her only older brother, Souichirou, she holds herself together through messages from a mysterious person called “DAISY,” sent to the cell phone her brother left behind. Later, after accidentally breaking a window, she is forced to become a “servant” to Tasuku Kurosaki, the school’s building custodian. Although Kurosaki appears sharp-tongued and selfish, he always secretly watches over her with kindness. That encounter completely changes Teru’s fate.
The original manga was serialized in Shogakukan’s Betsucomi magazine from 2007 to 2013.

Comments from the Staff
Kyousuke Motomi (original creator): “I heard that Dengeki Daisy is being made into an anime, but is it really true? It seems it is true. I am so excited. The day when we can see Teru and Kurosaki move has finally come. I cannot wait for the 2027 broadcast. Please leave this work in the hands of the anime staff.”
Souta Ueno (director): “Whether small matters or important ones, wounds that cannot be understood, a past that cannot be forgiven, or a past that still cannot be forgiven within oneself, every moment ─time after time─ I want to depict the story of carrying all of that and continuing forward together.”
Sawako Hirabayashi (series composition): “Feature phones, also known as ‘garakei,’ are symbols of the 2000s. The letters on those tiny screens have a charm different from computer email, and that is what allows certain feelings to be conveyed. The secret relationship connected through a garakei is the beginning of this story. I hope both longtime fans and new viewers enjoy it together.”
Ayaka Murakami (character design): “I feel deeply honored to be in charge of character design for bringing the world of Dengeki Daisy to TV anime. Everyone on the staff is giving their all to create a work that meets fans’ expectations. Please continue to follow the news.”
Masaru Yokoyama (music): “The more I spoke with director Ueno, the more I felt the uniqueness of the world he wanted to create. I felt I had to record and mix in a place with a distinctive musical character, so I went to Iceland. The result is music with a truly artistic atmosphere, and I look forward to seeing how it blends with the world of this work.”
Along with the announcement, a teaser visual featuring the Blue Daisy flower, the symbol of the work, was released, as was a celebratory anime-adaptation illustration by Kyousuke Motomi.
