A gentle, surreal visitor is moving in next spring. Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo (クジマ歌えば家ほろろ)—U-NEXT’s first lead-produced TV anime—will premiere in April 2026, with a teaser now live. If you love offbeat humor that slowly warms a prickly family dynamic, this one’s already humming.
Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo Sets April 2026 With Teaser Out Now
Kujima Utaeba Ie Hororo adapts Akira Konno’s manga into a home comedy where a mysterious not-a-bird, not-a-human guest—Kujima—quietly re-colors a family’s everyday life. It’s quirky, it’s tender, and it lands a laugh before sneaking in a lump in your throat.
U-NEXT’s First Lead Production and Why It Matters to Fans
Beyond the premiere window, this project stands out as U-NEXT’s first lead-produced anime with Shochiku—meaning the platform is stepping deeper into creating what it streams. Expect timely information via official channels as launch approaches.
A Surreal Yet Warm Home Comedy That Softens Sharp Edges
Deadpan beats, tiny pauses that blossom into chuckles, and small kindnesses that disarm defenses—Kujima’s presence slowly melts tension in the Koda household. The manga previously won the U-NEXT Prize at the 2022 Tsugi ni Kuru Manga Taisho, hinting at a proven blend of oddball humor and warmth.
Cast Voices and Staff Lineup Shaping the Show’s Gentle Rhythm
Director Noriyuki Nonomata（野亦則行） with Series Director Shinichiro Kimura（木村真一郎）; Series Composition Yasutoshi Yamada（山田靖智）; Character Design Sakurako Mitsuhashi（三橋桜子）; Music Manami Kakudo（角銅真実）; Animation by Studio Hibari（スタジオ雲雀）. Starring Yuria Kamizuki（神月柚莉愛） as Kujima and Ayumu Murase（村瀬 歩） as Arata Koda.
