As a seasoned anime enthusiast who’s had the privilege of traversing through countless realms and dimensions, I must say, the announcement of the Dekin no Mogura anime adaptation has me thoroughly intrigued! With my roots firmly planted in the world of supernatural comedies, having binge-watched Hozuki’s Coolheadedness to its very end, I can’t help but feel a sense of camaraderie with the creator, Natsumi Eguchi.


It was officially announced that the manga titled “The Banned Mogura,” which is about supernatural themes and has been published in Kodansha’s Morning Magazine since 2021, will be adapted into an anime. This manga is written by Natsumi Eguchi, who is also known as the creator of “Hozuki’s Coolheadedness.” Fans of “Dandadan” may find this new series interesting.

Kodansha shared details about the animation while announcing the eighth manga volume, scheduled for release on November 21, 2024. Recently, an official website was launched for the adaptation, providing additional insights, such as a tentative premiere date in 2025.

The animation will debut in July 2025, and at this point, there’s no news about it being distributed internationally. A teaser has been posted on the website, showcasing Yuichi Nakamura as the lead character Momoyuki Mogura. Take a look here: [website link]

Dekin no Mogura Main Staff & Cast

Apart from unveiling the trailer and release dates, the website additionally disclosed the core crew and actors for the project. Specifically, Hiroshi Ishiodori, who directed KenIchi the Mightiest Disciple OVA, will direct this series, while Shizo Fujita, known for his work on To Your Eternity seasons one and two as main scriptwriter, will oversee the scripts. Tomoki Hasegawa, renowned for his work in NANA, will compose the music, and Yoko Takabe, famous for Tonari no Youkai-san, is responsible for character designs. Studio Brain’s Base, known for their work on Golden Kamuy Season 4, is animating this series. The only main voice actor announced thus far is Yuichi Nakamura, who previously played Gray Fullbuster in Fairy Tail.

The narrative unfolds as Magi and Yaeko encounter a peculiar event: a hefty dictionary accidentally landing on a man’s head, causing him to bleed. Remarkably, the man refuses any help from medical or law enforcement personnel following this occurrence. Subsequently, both students begin to notice and experience strange phenomena.

On two separate occasions, one of Eguchi’s works has been transformed into an animated series. The initial adaptation was titled “Hozuki’s Coolheadedness“, a humorous take on the supernatural genre. This series ran in the same Morning magazine from 2011 to 2020, spanning across 31 volumes. Kodansha USA holds the English licensing rights, and the series is exclusively available digitally.

2014 and 2018 saw the airing of two separate anime seasons, comprising a combined 39 episodes in total. Moreover, seven OVA episodes were exclusively released in Japan. The first season was masterfully crafted by Wit Studio, while the second season found its home at Studio Deen. Interestingly, the OVA episodes emerged from collaborative efforts between both studios (Wit taking charge of episodes 1-3 and Deen handling the fourth). Additionally, Pine Jam contributed to the production of the last three OVA episodes. You can now enjoy this captivating anime on HIDIVE.

The story unfolds in an administrative Hell, efficiently managed by Hozuki, a high-ranking demon who serves as deputy to the ruler, known as Lord Emma or King of Hell. Unlike the Christian conception of Hell, this realm maintains cordial relations with other realms. This tale delves into the world of business, management, and diplomacy, offering a glimpse into the bustling life of a demon. It is enriched with significant influences from Japanese and East Asian folklore.

The “Mole Sullivan” movie is tentatively scheduled for July 2025, and it’s uncertain if it will be released worldwide at this point. It’s important to note that the original manga has not been licensed for distribution within the United States.
