Studio Colorido's long-awaited fourth feature-length film is "My Oni Girl," a youth fantasy that unfolds between a human boy and an oni (demon) girl. The movie will start streaming worldwide only on Netflix on Friday, May 24.

The film is directed by Tomotaka Shibayama, who worked at Studio Ghibli before taking part in creating commercials and other video works for Studio Colorido. He made his film directorial debut with "A Whisker Away". The screenplay for "My Oni Girl" is written by Yuko Kakihara, who is known for "The Apothecary Diaries" (2023) and the "Chihayafuru" TV anime series. The character design is led by Masafumi Yokota, who did key animation for the opening sequence of "The Apothecary Diaries", key animation for the films "Weathering with You" (2019), "The Wind Rises" (2013) and more.

This film's world shines bright with the creators' unique vision and is brought to life with soft lines and overwhelmingly beautiful colors. It also features incredible performances by a skilled voice cast, who along with an all-star staff have poured all their talent into the film. Witness the birth of a youth fantasy masterpiece overflowing with Studio Colorido's unique qualities, transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary.

Yearning to get along with others and not be disliked, first-year high school student Hiiragi lives in Japan's Yamagata prefecture and finds himself unable to say no whenever someone requests something of him. Even though he tries his best to do things for others, it never goes well, leaving him with no one he can call a friend.

One summer day, while unsuccessfully carrying out yet another request, he encounters an oni girl named Tsumugi, who has come to the human world to search for her mother. She does whatever she pleases and is the complete opposite of Hiiragi.
