Tomotaka Shibayama (A Whisker Away) helms the film as director and co-screenwriter with Yuki Kakihara (The Apothecary Diaries) at Studio Colorido, alongside character designer Masafumi Yokota (Shine on! Bakumatsu Bad Boys) and music composer Nami Kubota (The Stranger by the Shore).
Netflix describes the story:
Yearning to get along with others and not be disliked, first-year high school student Hiiragi finds himself unable to say no whenever someone requests something of him. One summer day, while unsuccessfully carrying out yet another request, he encounters an oni girl named Tsumugi, who has come to the human world to search for her mother. She does whatever she pleases and is the complete opposite of Hiiragi. Studio Colorido presents this fantasy tale of youth that unfolds over one wintery summer.
