Hanarabīzu (歯ならび～ズ), an original character series from Shueisha's shojo manga magazine Ribon, has been adapted into a three-episode short anime. Episodes are rolling out on the magazine's YouTube channel, Ribon Channel, starting with Episode 1 on October 26, 2026, according to a PR TIMES release.
Created by Yukari Kaneko, the series runs in a Ribon project for creating original characters, according to an ABEMA TIMES report carried by Chiba TV+ Plus. Every character is a tooth. They include Nyūshi-chan, a baby tooth; Shōkyūshi-chan, a premolar and Nyūshi-chan's friend; and Mushiba-senpai, a decayed tooth. The release describes the shorts as depicting their gentle, cute and slightly surreal daily lives.
Episode 1, "Oasobi" (roughly "Playtime"), is on Ribon Channel now. Episode 2 is scheduled for November 9 and Episode 3 for November 24. Each episode is scheduled to go up at noon Japan time (JST).
Benpineko directs, and DLE handled animation production. The voice cast is Hana Satō, Yūki Urushiyama and FROGMAN, the creator of Himitsu Kessha Taka no Tsume.
