Yasuhiro Minami (episode director for several Gintama anime, Turn A Gundam) is directing the series at Studio Flad. Yukie Sugawara (Overlord seasons 1-4, Kino’s Journey – The Beautiful World) is overseeing the series scripts, and Mika Yamamoto (ClassicaLoid, Tiger & Bunny 2) is designing the characters.
The comedy manga centers on Alma, a super high-performance girl-type weapon, and the two genius scientists Enji Kamisato and Suzume Yobane, who created her.
The original manga ran on Kadokawa’s Comic Newtype website and has three volumes. Kadokawa published the third volume in March 2024. A new manga, titled Alma-chan wa Kazoku ni Naritai Z, launched on Comic Newtype on July 31 and is ongoing. The first volume will release on April 25.
