Crunchyroll will stream the anime.

Masahiro Andō (Sword of the Stranger) is directing the anime at Bones Film. Noboru Takagi (Kingdom seasons 3-6, Golden Kamuy first four seasons) is overseeing the series scripts, and Nobuhiro Arai (Bungo Stray Dogs) is designing the characters. Kenichiro Suehiro (Golden Kamuy, Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- franchises) is composing the music.

Square Enix Manga & Books is releasing the manga in English, and it describes the story:

In a remote mountain village under the watchful eyes of two stone guardians, the young Yuru contentedly lives off the land while staying close to the only family he has left—Asa, his precious twin sister. Asa, meanwhile, carries out a mysterious “duty” on behalf of the village while locked in a cage. Why is Asa a prisoner? And what other secrets does Yuru's otherwise idyllic home hide?

Arakawa (Fullmetal Alchemist, Silver Spoon) launched the manga in Square Enix's Monthly Shonen Gangan magazine in December 2021. Square Enix published the manga's 10th volume on July 11.
