Story Overview and Manga Background
The anime is based on the original Dead Account manga, written and illustrated by Shizumu Watanabe. The manga is published in English by K Manga, which also provided an official synopsis outlining the unique premise:
“Always ready for a fight! Destruction for destruction’s sake! The online streamer Aoringo is a troll, making the worst of the worst boundary-pushing flamebait content and raking in the revenue from hate-watchers.
But in reality, he’s high school dropout Soji Enishiro — a caring older brother with a sweet tooth who loves his little sister more than anything. His shocking viral videos? They’re a means to fund his sister’s medical treatment. Soji doesn’t care if the world hates him, as long as he can help her recover.
However, just as his fame reaches new heights, a bizarre transformation of reality begins that threatens everything — plunging him into a paranormal crisis far more terrifying than social backlash.”
The original manga has garnered attention for its unique mix of moral ambiguity, cyber drama, and high-stakes supernatural conflict, setting the groundwork for a gripping anime adaptation.
Confirmed Release Timing and Streaming Details

While specific streaming platforms have not yet been detailed, the reach of SynergySP productions and the growing global demand for new anime titles suggest a wide distribution is expected. Additional broadcast and simulcast partners will be announced in future updates.
