Fans of offbeat supernatural comedies are in for a treat — Let’s Go Kaikigumi, the quirky manga by View, is officially being adapted into a TV anime. The announcement came with a teaser trailer, key visual art, and details about the main staff and cast, confirming that the show will air in 2026 on Tokyo Broadcasting System.
A Hauntingly Funny Story
Let’s Go Kaikigumi follows an unnamed protagonist who is unusually sensitive to paranormal activity — six times more vulnerable than the average person. His life takes a bizarre turn when he meets Mechako, a mysterious girl who runs “Kaikigumi,” a group that monitors and manages spirits and monsters. What starts as an accidental encounter quickly spirals into a series of chaotic, spooky, and hilariously unpredictable adventures as the protagonist gets dragged into Mechako’s ghost-hunting world.
The Team Bringing It to Life
The anime will be directed by Yutaka Hirata at C-Station, known for its dynamic animation style. Mitsumi Ito will handle series composition and scriptwriting, while Yoshimitsu Yamashita serves as the character designer. The show’s music collaboration comes from Uketsu, adding an energetic touch to the eerie setting.
Voice actor Tasuku Hatanaka will play the protagonist, while Ruriko Aoki voices the eerie yet lovable Mechako. Veteran actor Shigeru Chiba joins the cast as the narrator, setting the perfect tone for this comedic supernatural tale.
From Page to Screen
Originally published by Shogakukan Creative, the Let’s Go Kaikigumi manga currently spans five collected volumes in Japan. The series has developed a cult following for its unique mix of absurd humor, spooky charm, and heartfelt character moments. Its transition to anime is expected to amplify the manga’s offbeat appeal with expressive animation and surreal visuals.
The teaser art shows Mechako crouching under a dim streetlight at night, her white hair glowing against the darkness while a pair of mysterious eyes peek from a nearby trash can. The image perfectly captures the show’s eerie yet humorous tone — part ghost story, part comedy of chaos.
Why Fans Are Excited
With its weird yet lovable characters, witty dialogue, and ghostly adventures, Let’s Go Kaikigumi promises to be one of 2026’s most refreshing anime debuts. It blends the supernatural with slapstick humor, creating a world where jump scares and laughter go hand in hand.
As anticipation builds, both longtime manga readers and new viewers are eager to see how the anime will bring Mechako’s eccentric world to life.
