A key visual for the Doga Kobo original anime Jellyfish Can’t Swim in the Night has been released.
It was also announced the anime’s piano scenes will feature YouTuber Harumi-chan‘s piano playing.
The anime is set to begin airing on April 6, or effectively April 7 at 1 AM JST. Its story will follow an anonymous artist group called JELEE, which is composed of an illustrator on hiatus, a former idol, a self-proclaimed “strongest” VTuber, and a mysterious composer who wants to support the person she is a fan of.
