It’s not uncommon to see the anime and manga industry being heavily dominated by the Shonen demographic. For several decades now, most of the mainstream hits are battle action, including Dragon Ball, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and many more. Not to mention that these series are often ranked among some of the best-selling manga of all time. In comparison to such thrilling action, other demographics often fall behind in global recognition. Not only are those series wholesome, but they also offer something new to fans. Shojo is one such demographic that never gained the popularity of Shonen despite having some globally renowned shows. The 1990s and 2000s were not only phenomenal decades for Shonen, but it revolutionized the Shojo industry.

During that time, several classics were released that are appreciated to this day. Unfortunately, despite receiving critical acclaim and having a wide fan base, most of those never received an anime adaptation, which would’ve allowed them to gain more recognition across the globe. This also includes Dengeki Daisy, a critically acclaimed romance that finally confirmed an anime adaptation to commemorate its 20th anniversary. Written and illustrated by Kyosuke Motomi, the manga was serialized in Shogakukan’s Betsucomi magazine from 2007 to 2013.
When Will Dengeki Daisy Premiere?
Although the anime hasn’t revealed the exact release date, it will premiere next year to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the manga.
