Production company GAGA opened an official website for an anime adaptation of Inio Asano's Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction manga on Wednesday, revealing a special promo. Asano also drew an illustration to commemorate the announcement (pictured).

Production +h., the animation studio behind Mitsuo Iso's Chikyuugai Shounen Shoujo (The Orbital Children) anime, is producing the anime project.

Asano launched the sci-fi slice of life manga in April 2014 in Big Comic Spirits after ending Oyasumi Punpun the year before. The 13th issue of the magazine published the 100th and final chapter on February 28. Shogakukan shipped the 11th volume on July 30 last year, with the 12th volume scheduled to release on March 30. VIZ Media licensed the manga in English in 2017 and released the tenth volume last September.

Dead Dead Demon's Dededededestruction placed among the top 20 manga in the male readers category in the Kono Manga ga Sugoi! 2016 rankings, won the 66th Shogakukan Manga Awards in the General category, and the Excellence Award at the 25th Japan Media Arts Festival in the Manga division.

Synopsis
When you look up at the sky, what do you see? A blue sky? Freedom? A hopeful future? The people of Tokyo see none of these. Instead, an ominous alien mothership looms overhead, engulfing the city skyscape.

Three years ago, they came. The arrival of the "Invaders" sparked the greatest war humanity had ever faced—one that threatened to end the world. The Japanese government scrambled to fight the Invaders. Weapons were mass-produced, sparking controversy and pacifist movements.

That day, everything changed. And yet, nothing has changed. Kadode Koyama and Ouran Nakagawa live their final days like they always have: going to school, playing with friends, and doing what any carefree high school girl would do.

As they grow up they come to learn what it truly means to be an adult, in a world where adults seem to be demons who only deceive and destroy. They come to learn the real threat to humanity is not the Invaders, but humanity itself. [Written by MAL Rewrite]
