Nurumeta Announcement and Teaser Visual

Four Characters and an Unpredictable Everyday Life

Nurumeta centers on Kurumi, an artificial human who looks much like an ordinary person, her guardian Chiaki, and their friends Sakina and Shiyuki.

Rather than turning its robot premise into a large-scale science-fiction conflict, the manga uses it for conversation, absurd behavior and everyday situations that repeatedly drift outside the expected boundaries of slice-of-life comedy.

Kai Ikarashi Leads the Adaptation With Soigne

The series marks Kai Ikarashi's first time directing a TV anime. Tatsuya Takahashi oversees series composition, while Shin Ogasawara is responsible for character design.

Animation production is handled by Soigne, which has already added Nurumeta to its official works lineup.

The Manga Has Reached Six Volumes

Houbunsha publishes Nurumeta through Manga Time Kirara Max and the Manga Time KR Comics imprint. Its first collected volume arrived in January 2021, while Volume 6 was released on January 27, 2026.

Houbunsha's descriptions consistently frame the series around Kurumi and her three friends as their strange but familiar high-school lives continue to expand.

Cast and Premiere Details Are Still Pending

The first announcement currently establishes the 2027 window, main staff, animation studio and teaser visual.

An exact premiere date, cast, opening and ending themes, Japanese broadcaster, streaming platform and episode count have not yet been announced.

Why This Matters

1) The anime adapts a four-panel manga that deliberately bends slice-of-life conventions

Nurumeta's everyday setting is constantly disrupted by Kurumi and the group's absurd behavior.

2) Kai Ikarashi takes on his first TV anime directorial role

The project gives him a full television series to lead for the first time.

3) Soigne handles the animation

The studio now brings its production approach to one of Manga Time Kirara Max's continuing series.
