Kamisama School no Ochikobore (English Name: The Failure at God School), the supernatural school drama written by Natsu Hyuga, the author of The Apothecary Diaries, is officially getting a TV anime adaptation.
The announcement came on September 17, 2026, alongside the release of the anime’s first teaser visual. Manga artist Modomu Akagawara and original author Natsu Hyuga also shared comments celebrating the adaptation.
The manga currently runs in Hana to Yume, while its manga and novel versions have been published in parallel. The series has now surpassed 1.7 million copies in circulation:
The new teaser visual features the story’s main characters Nagi Hibiya, Tsukuyomi, and Tota Eto.
Nagi attends the mysterious “God School” despite having no divine powers, while Tsukuyomi is one of Japan’s highest-ranking gods. Tota, meanwhile, is Nagi’s classmate and comes from a family that runs a major shrine.
The three characters stand on a stone staircase beneath a large torii gate, surrounded by red autumn leaves.
The visual offers the first glimpse at the supernatural world that will form the setting of the upcoming anime.
