Deiji Meets Girl: All We Know

GKIDS is set to screen the Deiji Meets Girl short anime theatrically in the United States sometime in 2022. An exact date for the release has yet to be revealed. In addition to Ushio Tazawa, the series features series composition and original character design by Akane Malbeni. The series originally aired from October 2 to December 18, 2021, on the Super Animeism block on MBS, TBS, and other channels.

Aoi Kubo performed the series' theme song, "Otogibanashi no Yо̄ na Kiseki." GKIDS' official website describes the story of Deiji Meets Girl as:

"Maise is stuck spending the summer after her first-year of high school helping out at her family’s hotel in the sleepy seaside town, but things become a little less sleepy once Ichiro, a mysterious young man, checks into the hotel. It seems as if only Maise and Ichiro can see the strange, sudden apparitions: the hotel lobby and the room transforming into an aquarium, a giant tree erupting from the floor or the rowdy monsters laying claim to the hotel restaurant. Maise vows to figure out not just what’s causing these odd occurrences but why Ichiro has come to this remote town in the first place."
