The official website for the television anime of Rokuro Uraji‘s Zombie no Afureta Sekai de Ore Dake ga Osowarenai (I am the only one who is not attacked in the world filled with zombies.) novel series opened on Thursday and revealed the anime’s teaser promotional video, teaser visual, main cast and staff, and delayed January 2027 premiere on the premium AT-X channel.

The anime will star:

Wataru Katō as Yūsuke Takemura

Yuno Azuma as Mitsuki Fujino

Kazuya Fujishiro (Dropkick on My Devil!, Girlfriend, Girlfriend, Cells at Work! Code Black episode director) is directing the anime at acca effe and Frontier Engine. Yasushi Hirano (City Hunter, The Brave Fighter of Legend Da-Garn) is in charge of the series scripts, Kayō Shimoyama and Makuto Okimiru are writing the scripts, and Megumi Ishihara (Fate/stay night, Fortune Arterial: Akai Yakusoku) is designing the characters. Tadashi Jinbo (2026 High School! Kimengumi, Uma Yuru) is the sound director at Bisei, and ISAO is composing the music at Frontier Works. 

The anime was previously announced to debut this year.

The “zombie panic action” story takes place in a world that is suddenly flooded with zombies, and for some reason the protagonist Takemura is the only person the zombies do not attack. If this were a zombie movie, Takemura would use this ability to fight against the zombies, but instead he just acts according to his desires.

Uraji launched the story on the R18 version of the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in January 2013 and ended the story in 2017. Frontier Works published three volumes for the series with illustrations by Saburō in 2016 to 2017.

Chihiro Masuda launched a manga adaptation in June 2021, and Frontier Works will release the fifth manga volume on August 5. Robo Kondō launched a spinoff manga titled Zombie no Afureta Sekai de Ore Dake ga Osowarenai Tokiko IF STORY on the Comic CMOA website in October last year. The spinoff manga’s first volume will also ship on August 5.

The official website for the live-action film of Mika Yamamori‘s In the Clear Moonlit Dusk (Uruwashi no Yoi no Tsuki) manga announced two more cast members for the film on Thursday.

Former Nogizaka46  idol group member Yūki Yoda (live-action Mob Psycho 100, Ryо̄san-gata Riko, center in image above) plays Yoshiko, Kohaku’s childhood friend. Naohito Fujiki (live-action Boys Over Flowers, 20th Century Boys, right) plays Seiichi Takiguchi, Yoi’s father, and the proprietor of the curry restaurant “Nasu Oyaji.”

Kodansha USA Publishing licensed the manga, and it describes the story:

Yoi Takiguchi has long legs, a deep voice, and a handsome face…in other words, Yoi is such a good-looking guy that most people don’t notice or care that she is, in fact, a girl. Indeed, she’s had the nickname “Prince” as long as she can remember. That is, until she met Ichimura-senpai…the only person who’s really seemed to see her for herself. To her surprise, she’s not sure how to handle this new relationship, especially when her newfound friend is a prince himself (and a guy prince, at that). The story of the two high school princes starts here!

Shunsuke Michieda (live-action My Love Mix-Up! TV series, live-action The Kindaichi Case Files series) stars as Kohaku Ichimura (right in photo right), and Seira Anzai (live-action Insomniacs After School film, live-action Trillion Game TV series) stars as Yoi Takiguchi (left).

Other cast members include Rintarō Mizusawa as Takuto Ohji, Yuna Hoshino as Nobara Tone, Sayu Suzukawa as Kotobuki Hibiya, Takato Ōkura as Sentarō Akane, and Tatsumi Asa as Shun Kuwabatake.

Kentarō Takemura (live-action Trillion Game TV series) is directing the film,  and Yuichi Tokunaga (live-action Densha Otoko TV series) wrote the script. Shū Kanematsu (My Next Life as a Villainess: All Routes Lead to Doom!, Aquarion: Myth of Emotions) is composing the music. TBS TV is overseeing production at TBS Sparkle, and TOHO is distributing.

The film will open in Japan on October 23.

Yamamori launched the manga in Dessert magazine in 2020. Kodansha published the manga’s 10th compiled book volume on January 13.

The manga ranked #11 on the list of manga for female readers in the 2023 edition of Takarajimasha‘s Kono Manga ga Sugoi! (This Manga Is Amazing!) guidebook.

The manga’s anime adaptation premiered on January 11. Crunchyroll streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
