Yoshino Aoyama and Taku Yashiro Step Into a Shojo Favorite

Aoyama, best known as Hitori Gotō in Bocchi the Rock!, voices heroine Teru Kurebayashi (紅林照). In her comment published by the Japanese entertainment news outlet Oricon News, she said she is thrilled to deliver a Dengeki Daisy that can bloom now, as Kyousuke Motomi's world meets the expressive tools of animation. She promised to give the role everything she has alongside a Teru she describes as packed with joy, anger, sorrow, and delight.

Opposite her, Taku Yashiro (Sanosuke Sagara in the 2023 Rurouni Kenshin, Friede in Pokémon Horizons) plays Tasuku Kurosaki (黒崎祐), the school custodian at the center of the story. Yashiro said he wants to do justice to Kurosaki's tumultuous life and face the role head-on, adding that he hopes as many people as possible enjoy the anime.

A Teaser Built From Real Footage, and a Proven Crew

The teaser trailer uses actual footage from the anime itself, and it marks the first time either character's voice has been heard. The video is up now on Aniplex's YouTube channel under the title 'Dengeki Daisy Teaser PV | 2027 TV Anime Confirmed.'

Sōta Ueno directs the series at Studio Deen, with Sawako Hirabayashi handling series composition, Ayaka Murakami on character designs, and a score by Masaru Yokoyama (Your Lie in April). The credit block also lists H AYA TE on production duties.

What Dengeki Daisy Is About

Teru is a high school girl who lost her older brother, her only remaining family. Her lifeline is the cell phone he left her, which receives emails from a mysterious figure known only as DAISY. After she breaks a school window, Teru ends up working as a servant for the custodian Kurosaki, who is foul-mouthed and works her hard but somehow keeps a kind eye on her. Meeting him changes the course of her life.

Motomi's manga ran in Betsucomi, Shogakukan's shojo magazine, from 2007 to 2013 and was collected in 16 volumes. Viz Media publishes the full series in English, so the source material is easy to catch up on before the anime arrives.

Looking Ahead

The broadcast is set for 2027 in Japan, and the official site has not yet narrowed that down to a season or month. No international streaming partner has been announced either, though the teaser is up on Aniplex's official YouTube channel. In the meantime, all 16 English volumes are available from Viz, and the teaser trailer with Aoyama and Yashiro's debut performances is streaming now.
