The winter 2015 series Isuca is going to extend beyond that in a fun way for fans of the original work as it’s now being revealed that the seventh volume of the manga will include a bundled episode. And not just the traditional DVD bundled episode but a Blu-ray bundled episode, which have been a bit more uncommon these days. The plan is for the limited edition release to land on August 26th, 2015. No details have been revealed about what the story will be, an adaptation from the manga or an original story.
The series is scheduled for January 23rd, 2015 premiere in Japan. Ahead of it, there will be a in the Kadokawa Cinema Shinjuku with several of the cast attending as well as the opening theme song group. The production was announced back in June with a planned January 2015 broadcast set for it. The series comes from the manga by Osamu Takahashi which started in 2009 in Young Ace and has a few volumes to its name so far with the fifth volume released this summer. With the project set to be a TV series rather than OVA series as first speculated, there’s a lot of curiosity as to how the copious amount of nudity will be handled. The series is being produced by ARMS with Akira Iwanaga directing it based on scripts by Masashi Suzuki. The theme song for the series is set to be performed by Afilia Saga.
The series cast includes Ayumi Fujimura as Isuca, Saeko Zogo as Nadeshiko, Akane Kohinata as Matsuri, Yumeha Koda as Fumizuki, Sarah Emi Bridcutt as Kanae, Ibuki Kido as Sakuya Shimazu, Keisuke Koumoto as Shinichiro Asano, M.A.O as Suseri Shimazu and Kaori Sadohara as Tamako.
Plot concept: Shinichirou decides to look for a job in order to pay his rent, and his teacher suggests that he work for someone at their house,doing housekeeping. However, the person who hired him was Sakuya, a girl who is the 37th head of the Shimazu family, and her job is to exorcise and eliminate unwanted creatures. Shinichirou accidentally releases one of the creatures that Sakuya captures and they cooperate to catch it. A story of comedic creature hunting begins!
