About the anime Heavenly Delusion

Fans are quite thrilled with what the upcoming anime promises and are eagerly awaiting its premiere. Here’s how Denpa, the official English publisher of the anime, describes the story:

"Within the safety of the walls, youths are raised in a nursery-style setting by robots. While life there may appear stale on the surface, the children are full of potential and curiosity. In many ways, it is like a slice of heaven. The outside world is a hellscape. It is almost entirely void of anything mechanical and is now inhabited by mysterious yet powerful supernatural beings."

It continues:

"Maru, with the aid of Kiruko, is out there crisscrossing what was once Tokyo for heaven. But after searching for so long, maybe heaven is more of an untenable dream than a potential reality."

Being the Jury Recommended Works at the 24th and 25th Japan Media Arts Festival, Heavenly Delusion became one of the most highly lauded manga series. Brutus, one of Japan’s most popular pop culture magazines, added Heavenly Delusion to their "Most Dangerous Manga" list for its stimulating and thought-provoking themes.

Heavenly Delusion is set to take the Blue Stage at Anime Japan 2023 on Saturday, March 25, 2023. While it is known that the official voice cast of the series, including Gen Sato (Maru), Sayaka Senbongi (Kirko), Hibiku Yamamura (Tokio), and Fukuen (Mimihime), will be joining the event, more details regarding the series are expected to be revealed.
