“Heavenly Delusion” Produced by Production I.G ― Story Has Partly Been Revealed! Teaser PV & Main Staff Announced

The teaser PV of “Heavenly Delusion”, which releases its TV anime in 2023, has been revealed and shows a part of the story. Furthermore, the main staff has been announced as following; Mori Hirotaka as director, Fukami Makoto as series composition, Utsushita (Minakata Lab) as character design, and Ushio Kensuke as music.

The anime is based on a near-futuristic SF adventure written by Ishiguro Masakazu, known for “And Yet the Town Moves” and “Getenro”, and serialized on Kodansha “Afternoon”.

It started drawing attention right after the beginning of serialization in 2018, and won 1st place of “Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2019 Men ver.” with unprecedented speed. The popular work has up to the 7th volume at this point.

In 2024, the world is collapsed. 15 years have passed since an unprecedented disaster. Abandoned Japan is infested with Monsters called “man-eating Hiruko”, and humans have been living in a limited area while helping each other. One day, Kiruko, who is running a handyman service in Nakano, Tokyo, receives a mysterious request, “Take him to ‘heaven'” by a woman. A boy named Maru is left with Kiruko by a woman that has left the message and died. He says “There seems to be someone looks like me in ‘heaven'”. What in the world is “heaven”? What will happen when they reach there? The story follows Maru and Kiruko traveling in search of heaven.

The latest teaser PV reveals a part of the story, and depicts devastated Japan in 2039 due to an unprecedented disaster and the town of “Makyo (place infested with demons)” with spectacular and precise animation, effectively inserting several scenes that will be a key to the story. The powerful images of Maruko, Kiruko, and others in search of heaven, will surely raise your expectations for the anime.

Furthermore, the staff members have been announced as following; Mori Hirotaka (assistant director for “Sword Art Online The Movie: Ordinal Scale”) as director, Fukami Makoto (screenplay for “PSYCHO-PASS” series) as series composition, Minakata Lab (produced the PV to commemorate the 1st volume of “Heavenly Delusion” comics) as character design, and Ushio Kensuke (music for the TV anime “Chainsaw Man” and the movie “A Silent Voice” ) as music.

Please stay tuned for further information of “Heavenly Delusion” to be released in 2023.
