Nukitashi The Animation, the upcoming adaptation of the adult visual novel Nukitashi, is officially set to premiere in Japan in July 2025. A censored and bleeped version of the first trailer was released this week, drawing attention for its bold and comedic tone.
The production also announced three new cast members:
- Masumi Tazawa as Toka Reizeiin (known for Ikuno Dictus in Umamusume: Pretty Derby)
- Nanami Aiba as Rei Tadasugawa
- Nana Inoue as Ikuko Onabuta (Rika Anju in Magikano)
In addition to the broadcast, the anime’s first three episodes will screen in Japanese theaters on June 22. The preview will include a special talk session featuring five of the show’s main cast members.
Based on the adult visual novel available on Steam, Nukitashi is set on Seiran Island—a paradise where an oppressive law threatens personal freedoms. The story follows Junnosuke Tachibana, the leader of a secret resistance group known as NLNS, who is determined to overturn the law. Backed by a mysterious benefactor, Junnosuke and his crew operate from a hidden base, funded with the goal of protecting a key figure who could determine the mission’s outcome.
Balancing comedy, action, and social satire, the anime promises a wild ride as the NLNS works to outsmart the law and protect their island way of life.
