Mochizuki-san<\/strong> is getting a TV anime adaptation, produced by TOHO Animation and animated by studio Passione.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dokagui-mochizuki-san-key-visual-scaled.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dokagui Daisuki!

Mochizuki-san?<\/h2>\n<p>The manga launched in May 2024 across Hakusensha&#8217;s Young Animal Zero magazine and the Young Animal Web platform, written and drawn by Kamome Maruyono. The premise is a gourmet gag comedy: Mochizuki is a character defined entirely by a relentless, all-consuming craving for food \u2014 <em>dokagui<\/em> meaning &#8220;binge eating&#8221; or eating with reckless abandon. Every chapter follows Mochizuki&#8217;s single-minded pursuit of the next meal, played for laughs with a warm, slice-of-life energy.<\/p>\n<p>The manga has built a quietly devoted readership since its debut: it was nominated for the prestigious Manga Taisho award in 2025 and cracked the top 20 of Takarajimasha&#8217;s <em>Kono Manga ga Sugoi!<\/em> 2026 ranking in the male readers category \u2014 strong company for a series that was only two years old at the time.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dokagui-mochizuki-san-vol1.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dokagui Daisuki!

When TOHO backs a title, it tends to reach audiences worldwide. Animation production is in the hands of Passione, best known in Singapore for the emotionally charged <em>O Maidens in Your Savage Season<\/em> and the boldly stylised <em>Citrus<\/em>. It is an interesting pairing: a studio whose work skews dramatic and character-led applied to material that is fundamentally comedic and food-obsessed.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rCePLj1OBhI\" title=\"\u30c9\u30ab\u98df\u3044\u30c0\u30a4\u30b9\u30ad\uff01\u3082\u3061\u3065\u304d\u3055\u3093 TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u88fd\u4f5c\u6c7a\u5b9a\uff01\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>\u30c9\u30ab\u98df\u3044\u30c0\u30a4\u30b9\u30ad\uff01\u3082\u3061\u3065\u304d\u3055\u3093 TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u88fd\u4f5c\u6c7a\u5b9a\uff01 \u2014 via TOHO animation \u30c1\u30e3\u30f3\u30cd\u30eb on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What We Know (and What Is Still TBA)<\/h2>\n<p>The announcement confirmed the title, studio, and production house. A premiere date and streaming platform have not yet been revealed. TOHO Animation typically announces simulcast partners closer to broadcast, so Singapore fans should watch this space \u2014 based on the studio&#8217;s track record, a Crunchyroll or Netflix simulcast is the most likely outcome, though nothing has been confirmed at time of writing.<\/p>\n<p>The &#8220;food terror&#8221; tease TOHO ran on August 3\u20134 \u2014 hinting at imagery of yakisoba, spaghetti, and karaage \u2014 was a tongue-in-cheek reference to Mochizuki&#8217;s world-ending appetite rather than anything gothic or frightening. In hindsight it fits the series&#8217;s humour perfectly.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/dokagui-mochizuki-san-vol2.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dokagui Daisuki!
