The TV anime From the Other Side premieres Sunday, October 4, 2026. The announcement came with a key visual, main PV, four new cast members, and theme song details. Kyoko Hikawa's manga ran in LaLa from 1991 to 2002, sold over 4 million copies, and won the Seiun Award. Six authors from LaLa contributed support illustrations.
The opening theme is "Toko Ko" by The Cause Is in Yourself, and the ending theme is "Hikari no Soba de" by Nanasaki no Taro. Both groups sent comments about joining the project, along with the four newly announced cast members.
Kimiko Saito plays Gaya, Tadashi Miyazawa plays Goriya, Taisuke Nakano plays Agol, and Miku Ito plays Gina. Original author Kyoko Hikawa oversees the script for the adaptation, which commemorates 35 years since the manga began serialization.
To mark the anime, six LaLa-associated authors contributed support illustrations and messages: Shinobu Anou, Meka Tanaka, Akiharu Fuyunatsu, Bisco Hatori, Mikase Hayashi, and Kiiro Yumi. A follow-and-repost campaign on the official X account gives five winners a key visual poster.
