Charisma TV Anime Unveils Main Staff, January 2027 Debut

The official website for the television anime adaptation of Evil Line Records label (Hypnosis Mic) and the intellectual property company Dazed's Chōjin-teki Share House Story Charisma (Superhuman Shared Residence Story: Charisma) project revealed the anime's teaser visual, main staff, and January 2027 debut on TBS, on Monday. 

Jōji Furuta (Bad Girl, ēlDLIVE, Utano☆Princesama Legend Star, 2021 Shaman King) is directing the anime at Pierrot Films. Original creator Shū Matsubara is in charge of series scripts, and Evil Line Records is in charge of music. Along with Matsubara, Dazed is credited for the original work, and Ebimo is credited for the original character designs. TBS Television is the production manager.

The project's cast includes:

• Katsumi Fukuhara as Iori Motohashi, the charisma of obedience
• Genki Okawa as Terra, the charisma of self-love
• Masahiro Yamanaka as Rikai Kusanagi, the charisma of order
• Kenta Hosoda as Kei Sarukawa, the charisma of rebellion
• Saku Hyūga as Ohse Minato, the charisma of internal punishment
• Tomohisa Hashizume as Amahiko Tendō, the charisma of sex
• Yūki Ono as Fumiya Itō, the charisma of good and evil

Evil Line Records and Dazed launched the original project in 2021, and the project revolves around 2D characters who embody "charisma" — in the original sense of the term, which means divinely gifted elemental traits. They stay in a share house (a residence with some shared facilities, such as the kitchen) while aspiring for even higher goals.

The project has already spawned musical releases and live concerts. Rin Manda and Iori Irino serialized the four-panel manga Charisma: Kyō mo Heiwa Desu in Kodansha's Dessert magazine in January 2023 to December 2024 with two volumes compiled, and Sō Tobita serialized the Charisma: Charisma na Karera wa Charisma House de Karizumai-chū manga on Kodansha's Comic Days site from February to December 2023 with two volumes compiled.
