The scripts were written by Reiko Yoshida, who is known for working on A Silent Voice and Violet Evergarden. Credit for character design, as well as chief animation direction goes to Nobutake Ito, whose credits include The Tatami Galaxy. The music is being composed by Taro Umebayashi of Space Dandy and Yuri!!! on Ice.
VIZ Media publishes the original Dead Dead Demon’s Dededede Destruction manga by Inio Asano in North America and gave this description for the first volume:
The Japan Self-Defense Forces are still looking for a way to combat the alien threat, but so far conventional weapons have had no effect. Maybe it’s time to try something unconventional.
Meanwhile, Kadode Koyama and her best friend avidly track the aliens’ movements on social media and less enthusiastically study for college entrance exams. When the end of the world looms overhead, you learn to take things one step at a time.
The manga series consists of twelve volumes, all of which have been published in America. The series began in 2014, and Asano concluded it in 2022.
