The anime adaptation of the manga “Dead Account” was officially announced on March 13, 2025. Created by Shizumu Watanabe, the manga began its serialization in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in January 2023 and was later moved to the Magazine Pocket app in October of the same year.
The story centers on Souji Enishiro, a 15-year-old who dropped out of high school and became a controversial streamer known as “Aoringo.” Despite his troublemaker reputation due to the violent content of his videos, Souji is actually a devoted older brother who uses his earnings to cover the medical expenses of his sick younger sister. The narrative deepens when unexpected events threaten his sister, pushing Souji to face supernatural challenges.
The confirmation of Dead Account’s anime adaptation is exciting news for fans of stories that blend action with supernatural elements. The protagonist’s complexity—balancing a controversial public image with a selfless private life—adds a layer of narrative depth that could result in a compelling adaptation. If the production manages to capture the essence of the manga, the anime has the potential to stand out in today’s landscape, attracting both longtime readers and new viewers.
