“Mieruko-chan” TV Anime To Stream On Funimation October 2021
Funimation announced on Tuesday the streaming rights to the upcoming horror-comedy anime “Mieruko-chan”. The new TV series is set to premiere on October 3, 2021, and will be a part of Funimation’s Fall 2021 Anime Season Lineup.
Funimation says the series “follows Miko as she tries to balance her school life with her newly acquired sense—noticing horrifying monsters all around her.”
From KADOKAWA, the TV anime stars Sora Amamiya as “Miko Yotsuya”, Kaede Hondo as best friend “Hana Yurikawa”, and Ayane Sakura as “Yuria Niguredo”. The new series will be directed by Yuki Ogawa at studio Passione.
In addition, Sora Amamiya will be performing the ending theme with the song “Mita na? Mita yo ne?? Miteru yo ne???” (“You Saw It? You Saw It, Didn’t You?? You Can See It Right Now, Right???”), as well as the opening theme entitled “Mienai kara ne!?” (“I can’t see you, okay!?”), teased in the previously released promotional video.
The anime is based on Tomoki Izumi’s horror-comedy manga “Mieruko-chan”, which has been serialized on KADOKAWA's Comic Walker website since November 2018 and is currently being published in English by Yen Press. Volume 3 was released on June 29, 2021 and Volume 4 is set to be released on November 16, 2021.

And on top of that, nobody else can see them! Obviously, there's only one thing that makes sense-ignore them. Kinda hard to put theory into practice, though, when the ghosts know she's watching...
