The Moon on a Rainy Night Gets First Promo, 2027 Premiere Set

The first promotional video for The Moon on a Rainy Night is now live on the anime's official YouTube channel, and it's a clean signal: this adaptation is moving forward. Directed by Tomoe Makino with scripts by Shogo Yasukawa, the series will premiere in Japan in 2027.

The cast announcement includes voice actors Iori Saeki and Sora Amamiya, with character designer Ayumi Nishibata handling the visual side. That's a solid lineup for what's already a proven property: the manga by Kuzushiro has been serialized since June 2021 and has accumulated 12 volumes in Japan. German readers have had access since April 2024, courtesy of Egmont Manga's licensing deal.

The manga's run on Comic Days (Kodansha's platform) gives it the kind of steady, sustained readership that tends to translate into careful adaptation work. A 2027 premiere means the production team has time to get it right—no rushed timelines here. For fans of the source material already tracking the German release, this promo is the first concrete visual confirmation of how the story will look in motion.
