Horror Comedy Mieruko-Chan Creeps Into Funimation’s Fall Lineup

Horror anime fans have more to look forward to, as the spooky comedy Mieruko-chan will begin streaming just in time for Halloween.

According to Funimation, Mieruko-chan will be available through its streaming service as part of its fall lineup, joining other anticipated anime series like Selection Project, Season 2 of Restaraunt to Another World and Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon: The Second Act.

The original Mieruko-chan manga by Tomoki Izumi was first published online via Kadokawa's ComicWalker website in November 2018, and has so far produced five volumes. The story follows Miko Yotsuya, a high school student with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, as she tries her best to lead a normal life and ignore the horrifying apparitions.

Kadokawa and studio Passione (High School DxD HeroHigurashi: When They Cry - Gou) are producing the anime adaptation with industry-veteran Yuki Ogawa (FLCL ProgressiveHunter x HunterPsycho-Pass) directing the project. The voice cast includes Sora Amamiya (Bungo Stray DogsAppare-Ranman!) as Miko Yotsuya, Kaede Hondo (Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no YaibaMagical Sempai) as Hana Yurikawa and Ayane Sakura (My Hero AcademiaAttack on Titan: The Final Season) as Yuria Niguredou.

Mieruko-chan is scheduled to premiere sometime in October.
