While some Comic Earth Star shows are pretty fun and silly, the company also has some other diverse works, including a horror series that kicked off in 2011 with Pupa by Sayaka Mogi. This series, set for a fall broadcast alongside the release of the fourth volume of the manga, did some casting previously and now has a brief teaser for the fall series that’s also making a stronger play in some ways towards the manga releases themselves.
Studio DEEN is producing the series and it will be directed by Tomomi Mochizuki, who directed a variety of shows from Here is Greenwood to Kimagure Orange Road and was also the creator for Fancy Lala. You can check out the official site as well as that’s live.
Plot Concept: The “life-and-death sibling” story follows Utsutsu and Yume Hasegawa, a boy and his little sister who find themselves all alone. One day, Yume sees a mysterious red butterfly and her body undergoes a strange metamorphosis—into a creature that eats humans. Utsutsu struggles to find a way to restore his sister.
