Popular Kaiju Romance Manga 'Kaiju Girl Caramelise' Confirmed for Anime Adaptation by Studio Deen

Riko Korie's popular manga, Kaiju Girl Caramelise, is officially receiving an anime adaptation. The news broke today, accompanied by a striking teaser visual that immediately grabbed attention.

The visual showcased the core conflict, depicting heroine Kuroe Akaishi towering over a city in her massive kaiju form, notably sporting a blush that contrasted sharply with the surrounding destruction.

Studio Deen has been confirmed to handle the animation production. The studio is known for recent works including Fruits Basket and I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years.

Specific staff roles, such as the director, along with a confirmed premiere window, remain undisclosed at the time of reporting. Further details are anticipated soon, likely via an official stream or promotional event.

The source material began serialization in 2018 on Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app. The manga currently sits at 11 released volumes, with English digital releases managed by Kodansha USA.

The premise centers on Kuroe, a high school student cursed to transform into a giant monster whenever she experiences excitement around her reserved crush, Arata. It merges standard high school romance tropes with intense monster action.

Fans have long pushed for an adaptation, drawn to Korie’s distinct art style which balances Kuroe's awkward charm with intense kaiju battles. Given current industry trends, the series is highly probable to land on major streaming platforms like Crunchyroll upon release. We will keep an eye out for cast announcements and the first proper trailer.
