The story of ‘My Oni Girl’ revolves around Hiiragi Yatsuse, a first-year high school student who consistently tries to please others but has failed to make any friends. His life takes an unexpected turn when he encounters Tsumugi, a demon girl on a mission to find her mother in the human world. Tsumugi’s arrival sparks a transformation in Hiiragi as he is exposed to her bubbly and powerful personality, which contrasts with his own shy and lonely nature. This exquisite journey of two opposite combos is described as “Summer meets Winter”.
The trailer showcases an exciting plot twist: “If anyone represses their emotions, that person indirectly is responsible for creating mini-oni (white soul-like release from a person’s body), which, if continued for a long time, may lead to completely transforming oneself into them.” The latest trailer briefly takes us to the beautiful roller coaster, including the adventures. It also features the hauntingly beautiful theme song “Truth in Lies” by ZUTOMAYO.
Produced by the acclaimed Studio Colorido and directed by Tomotaka Shibayama, the creative mind behind A Whisker Away while Yuko Kakihara (The Apothecary Diaries, Chihayafuru) wrote the screenplay. The talented Kensho Ono (A Whisker Away) lends his voice to Hiiragi, and rising star Miyu Tomita voices Tsumugi.
‘My Oni Girl’ will stream worldwide on Netflix on May 24, 2024, and in theatres across Japan.
