An anime adaptation was announced for Natsumi Eguchi’s Dekin no Mogura: The Earthbound Mole back in November of last year, and now a premiere date is in place. The series premieres on July 7, and the news came along with the reveal of more cast and a new trailer.

There’s also a new visual:
Cast additions include Ayumu Murase as Kyoshiro Nekozuku, Shunsuke Takeuchi as Toshiro Nekozuku and Atsumi Tanezaki as Kyoko Nekozuku.
As previously reported, Yuichi Nakamura (Satoru Gojo in JUJUTSU KAISEN) is in the lead as Mogura. Hiroshi Ishiodori (An Archdemon’s Dilemma: How to Love Your Elf Bride) directs the anime, with Shinzo Fujita (To Your Eternity) on series composition, Yoko Tanabe (Handyman Saitou in Another World) on character designs and Tomoki Hasegawa (Grandpa and Grandma Turn Young Again) on music for the Brain’s Base production.
Here’s how the official website describes it:
Dekin no Mogura Plot
“I can’t die because I’ve been banned from the afterlife.”
Certain circumstances lead Mogura, a dubious self-proclaimed hermit, to collecting the “light” of spirits in a lantern in the hope of being allowed to pass on. It’s said that those who encounter him begin to see strange things…
Natsumi Eguchi, author of Hozuki’s Coolheadedness, portrays a world where humans and spirits weave together in mysterious ways.
The curtain rises on a thought-provoking tale of immortality!
