10 Upcoming Anime You MUST Watch
8. A Destructive God Sits Next To Me - ぼくのとなりに暗黒破壊神がいます。
A Destructive God Sits Next To Me has been a highly popular manga since it first appeared in 2013, so it's no surprise an anime adaptation is on the way. The series was announced in September 2018, and the first episode is set to air on January 11, 2020.
The manga follows the adventures of Seri Koyuki, a high school student who prefers to avoid anyone he thinks is strange, so as not to become the 'straight man' to their wacky antics. That was working fine for him until he met Kabuto Hanadori, a classmate who wears an eyepatch he insists hides his alter ego, which happens to be a god of destruction. Koyuki gets drawn into Hanadori's world, and the results are rather hilarious in this strange, yet funny series.
The books have sold incredibly well over the years, with more than 460,000 copies in print. The anime will be made available on streaming sites like Crunchyroll to a worldwide audience as soon as it first airs in Japan. All indications from press releases suggest the initial season will follow the same storyline of the manga, so if you're a fan of the books, you're bound to enjoy this new series!
