The show is a mix of high school romance and giant monster chaos, turning a simple crush into something huge. The anime is based on the popular manga by Spica Aoki and is set to debut this July on multiple streaming platforms worldwide.
New Global Visual Highlights the Show’s Unique Premise
A new global visual has been released for the anime, showing the giant monster Harugon and the male lead Arata Minami standing before it. The artwork sets the tone for a series where a high school girl’s emotions cause giant monster transformations.

The global visual is part of a bigger promotional push for the series. The creative team is getting the word out across the world, making sure fans everywhere can get excited about this unique story.
