My Oni Girl is a tribute to the joie de vivre (or the joy of living), the serenity of companionship, and the beauty of the natural world. The innovative production company Studio Colorido is the source of the Japanese anime, which is directed by A Whisker Away director Tomotaka Shibayama, a former employee of Studio Ghibli. The second movie in the three-film Netflix arrangement, My Oni Girl, will be available on over-the-top platforms this summer.
Plot
The first-year high school student Hiiragi Yatsuse, who lives in the affluent and gorgeous Yamagata Prefecture, is the subject of the novel My Oni Girl. However, there is Tsumugi, a female Oni demon with a single horn. Hampered by his loneliness and desire to make a positive impression on his classmates, Hiiragi finds it difficult to refuse pleas for assistance or other things from other people.
Tsumugi, on the other hand, is a vivacious, strong, and intimidating Oni woman who has come to Earth in search of her mother. She acts as she pleases. A bond forms between the two when their paths happen to cross one summer day while Hiiragi is attempting in vain to fulfil another desire. In addition to bringing snow in the summer, mystery since Tsumugi’s entrance has also portended change and rebirth in the days ahead, along with some daring experiences. Although Tsumugi and Hiiragi are complete opposites, they might be able to reflect each other’s positive traits and give Hiiragi the confidence and validation he needs without having to be such a people-pleaser. Meanwhile, Tsumugi might find some balance in her life as well as companionship—not to mention assistance in her search for her mother and her moral.
