Dengeki Daisy anime confirmed for 2027 by Aniplex and Studio DEEN

Sony-owned Aniplex is reviving the long-running shojo manga Dengeki Daisy with a new TV anime animated by Studio DEEN. The project was announced on June 9 after a multi-day countdown and is scheduled to broadcast in 2027; Studio DEEN is known for Fate/Stay Night, Higurashi When They Cry and Ranma ½.

The series adapts Kyousuke Motomi’s 16-volume manga that ran from 2007 to 2013 under Shogakukan’s Betsucomi imprint. The story follows high school student Teru Kurebayashi, who is guarded by an anonymous figure called “Daisy” after her brother’s death, and her fraught relationship with the strict Tasuka Kurosaki, who may be tied to both Daisy and her brother’s past.

VIZ Media licensed Dengeki Daisy for North America in 2010, and the title found a second life in the West during the early 2010s shojo boom, developing a cult following for its blend of romance and mystery and its use of the mysterious male-lead trope.
