Giant Ojō-sama TV Anime Reveals Visual, Staff, January 2027 Premiere

An official website opened on Friday for the television anime of Nikumura Q's Giant Ojō-sama (Giant Young Lady) manga, and it revealed the main staff, visual, and January 2027 premiere.

Hiroshi Ikehata (WITCH WATCH) is directing the anime at Tatsunoko Production. Katsuya Oshima is serving as assistant director. Hajime Mitsuda (Food for the Soul) is the character designer and chief animation director. Yū Satō (Azur Lane: Slow Ahead!) is handling the series composition and script.

The story centers around Oriko Fujidō, the scion of an ultra-wealthy family who finds herself growing to gigantic proportions. She had received an entire town as a present on her fourth birthday, but one day, a giant invader attacks her town. Her butler Sebastian offers her a drink that transforms her into a giant, so she strives to protect her town — but just might end up destroying it, throwing the denizens' lives into chaos.

Nikumura Q has been serializing the manga since July 2020 on Shogakukan's Sunday Webry service. Shogakukan will publish the manga's 12th compiled book volume on August 10. The manga was nominated by for best web manga in the eighth "Next Manga Awards" (Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taishō) in 2022, and it ranked #5 in AnimeJapan's 6th "Most Wanted Anime Adaptation" poll the following year.
