- A beautiful new teaser visual has been revealed along with the announcement.
- The film features the story of two individuals with opposing personalities and their journey towards change.
Humans’ desire to connect with others makes them do irrational things. Such is the case with Hiiragi, from My Oni Girl, a people pleaser desperately seeking meaningful connections.
This high school student cannot say no to anybody, but things start to change for him when he meets a demon girl called Tsumugi, who is his polar opposite. Their conflicting personalities set the stage for an epic romance in the upcoming anime film.
Studio Colorido’s fourth anime feature film, My Oni Girl (Suki Demo Kirai na Amanojaku), is set to premiere in Japanese theaters on May 24, 2024. The film will also debut on Netflix worldwide.
The brief 50-second teaser trailer is from Hiiragi’s point of view. He talks about feeling like an empty shell until Tsumugi brought a dazzling winter into his life.
On a snowy summer day, the duo embark on a beautiful journey filled with emotions. The trailer is absolutely mesmerizing; the art style is oddly reminiscent of ‘A Whisker Away’ and fills the hearts of fans with excitement.
The beautiful teaser visual features our main characters, Tsumugi and Hiiragi. Tsumugi seems to be urging Hiiragi, but he just seems confused about the situation. The color palette is absolutely amazing and has a refreshing feel to it.
‘A Whisker Away’ director Tomotaka Shibayama is working on the film, and here is the list of other staff members working on the anime.
| Position | Staff | Other Works |
| Director | Tomotaka Shibayama | A Whisker Away |
| Scriptwriter | Yūko Kakihara | Urusei Yatsura |

| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Hiiragi Yatsuse | Kenshō Ono | As Ryūnosuke Akutagawa in ‘Bungo Stray Dogs’ |

‘Opposites attract’ is a classic but attractive trope, and the concept of a “girl from another world” only increases the excitement and expectations of the fans.
The anime film has a Ghibli texture mostly because of the director’s previous affiliation with the studio. The art style is romantic and simply magical, and it is definitely something you should add to your watchlist.
