The second key visual and second main PV were also released alongside the theme song details. The opening theme is performed by METANICK, and the ending theme is by HoneyWorks feat. Hakoniwa Lily.

The story follows high school girl Kuroe Akaishi, whose body parts transform like a monster when her emotions run high. After giving up on being accepted, she suddenly becomes close to the school's most popular boy, Arata Minami, causing her symptoms to worsen into a full giant monster transformation.

METANICK's AKARI commented that she sang with feelings of Kuroe's complexes, love, and desire to change. Hakoniwa Lily, who said they have bought all the manga volumes, noted their lyrics reflect Kuroe's struggles with her differences and her gradual awareness of love. The anime airs on TBS, BS11, and AT-X starting July 2.
