The anticipated anime adaptation of Giant Ojo-sama (Giant Young Lady) has officially revealed its first trailer and main voice cast. This announcement was made by Anime Corner on September 3, 2026, marking a significant development in the promotion of this new series.
The newly released trailer showcases that Yu Serizawa voices the protagonist, Oriko Fujido, while Junya Enoki, known for his role as Yuji in JUJUTSU KAISEN, portrays the character Dr. Sebastian. These casting choices are crucial as they bring pivotal characters to life in this comedic narrative.
Giant Ojo-sama, based on the manga by Nikumura Q, tells the story of Oriko Fujido, the daughter of an ultra-wealthy family who receives an entire city as a birthday gift. Upon discovering a giantification drink created by her butler, Dr. Sebastian, Oriko can grow in size to confront invading threats that endanger her city, though her actions also lead to considerable chaos. This premise not only sets the stage for a blend of comedy and adventure but also raises questions about responsibility and the consequences of power.
The series is produced by Tatsunoko Production and is set to premiere in January 2027. The direction will be handled by Hiroshi Ikehata, noted for his work on TONIKAWA: Over the Moon for You and Tearmoon Empire. Katsuya Oshima will serve as assistant director, and Yu Mitsuya is responsible for series composition and scriptwriting. The character designs will be managed by Hajime Mitsuda, who will also act as the chief animation director. The expertise of this production team hints at a high-quality animated adaptation that could capture the unique tone of the manga.
Giant Ojo-sama first began serialization on Shogakukan’s Sunday Webry manga platform on July 30, 2021, following its initial release as a webcomic on Shueisha’s Jump Rookie on December 17, 2020. As of November 2025, the series has been compiled into eleven volumes, with the twelfth volume scheduled for release on August 10, 2026. This timeline showcases the significant growth and popularity of the series amongst manga readers, reflecting its capability to engage a diverse audience.
The announcement of the Giant Ojo-sama anime, along with its trailer and voice cast reveal, holds importance for fans of the manga and the broader anime community. As excitement builds ahead of the January 2027 release, the confirmed details affirm the project’s commitment to blending humor with engaging storytelling.
