Anime Teaser Debuts, January 2027 Premiere Set","summary":"The official website for the television anime of Ryon's Are You a Landmine, Chihara-san? (Jirai nandesu ka? Chihara-san) posted the teaser promotional video on Friday. The anime will debut in January 2027 in the Super Animeism Turbo block on MBS, TBS, and 26 affiliated channels, running Thursdays at 00:26, effectively Fridays at 12:26 a.m. The staff had previously announced the anime would air in 2026. Yasuaki Fujii directs at Synergy SP. Keiichiro Ochi oversees series scripts, Majiro designs characters, and Arisa Okehazama composes music at King Records. The cast is Sayumi Suzushiro as Mai Chihara, Kazuki Ura as Kuroki, Maaya Uchida as Chinatsu Iwakura, Tomokazu Sugita as Hibiya, and Daisuke Ono as Kazami. The teaser shows Kuroki seated beside Mai Chihara at the start of a new semester. Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga and will start its English release on September 29, 2026.","whyItMatters":"The January 2027 slot is later than the 2026 airing the staff had announced, and the teaser arrives while Seven Seas is still rolling out the manga in English, so the anime and the licensed manga now land close together.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe teaser is the first moving footage from the production and follows the manga\u0026#39;s opening scene: high school junior Kuroki is seated next to Mai Chihara, the gothic-dressed classmate his classmates call a jirai-kei or landmine girl. Art direction is by Hisae Arimoto, with Emi Kadono on color keys and Naotaka Watanabe as compositing director of photography. Daiki Hachimaki is the sound director, Akiko Muto handles sound effects, and IMAGICA EMS handles sound production. Ryon launched the manga on the GANMA! service in June 2021, and it has nine volumes as of July 2026. The second Rakuten Kobo E-book Awards gave the manga a Next Impact Comic award in 2024. Anime Corner identifies the music composer as Alisa Okehazama and describes the manga as a slice-of-life romantic comedy about first impressions; Seven Seas\u0026#39; synopsis covers the same premise, that Chihara turns out to be less unstable than her reputation suggests. The character designer Majiro has worked on Macross Delta and UniteUp!, and Ochi\u0026#39;s script credits include The Quintessential Quintuplets and Summer Pockets.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"The teaser lists Thursdays at 00:26 on MBS and TBS, a slot that clocks as Friday past midnight for most viewers.
