Fifteen years after its final chapter, Dengeki Daisy is finally getting its anime adaptation — and Anime Expo 2026 just gave us the first look at the full cast, a teaser PV, and confirmation that Crunchyroll will stream it worldwide. If you grew up reading Kyousuke Motomi’s hacker-romance shojo series in Betsucomi, this one’s for you.
A Fan Favourite That Waited Long Enough
Dengeki Daisy ran in Shogakukan’s Betsucomi from 2007 to 2013, spanning 16 volumes. The story follows Teru Kurebayashi, an orphaned high school student who carries a phone given to her by her late brother. It receives messages from a mysterious contact called DAISY — warm, supportive, and always watching over her. The catch: the gruff, frequently-aggravating school janitor Tasuku Kurosaki is keeping a very big secret about who DAISY really is. The manga was a hit for its mix of sweet romance, cyber-thriller tension, and a lead couple who actually talked to each other rather than misunderstanding their way to a resolution.
Cast Revealed — Yoshino Aoyama and Taku Yashiro Lead
The teaser PV unveiled at AX confirms the two main voice actors. Yoshino Aoyama — known to Singapore fans from roles in Kaguya-sama: Love is War — plays Teru Kurebayashi. Opposite her is Taku Yashiro as Tasuku Kurosaki. The teaser focuses on close-up character animation that emphasises the emotional expressiveness the source material is known for.
Studio DEEN, and Masaru Yokoyama on Music
The production is helmed by director Sōta Ueno at Studio DEEN, the veteran studio behind adaptations of Rurouni Kenshin and Fruits Basket (the original 2001 run). Series composition is handled by Sawako Hirabayashi, with Ayaka Murakami as character designer. The most exciting staff credit for music fans: Masaru Yokoyama is composing the score. Yokoyama is the name behind Violet Evergarden, Your Lie in April, and Classroom of the Elite — soundtracks that hit hard emotionally. That pedigree is a very good fit for this story.
2027 Premiere on Crunchyroll
The anime will premiere in 2027 — no specific season or date confirmed yet — and will stream on Crunchyroll worldwide. Crunchyroll is available in Singapore, so local fans will be able to watch it without jumping through import hoops. No MUSE Asia partnership has been announced so far, meaning the primary streaming home for Southeast Asia is currently Crunchyroll. A full broadcast schedule is expected closer to the premiere.
Worth mentioning for newer fans: the manga’s 16 volumes are available in English and are worth reading ahead of the series. Catch up on more upcoming anime and manga news while you wait.
