The third episode of the TV anime "SANDA," based on the manga by Paru Itagaki, known for "BEASTARS," titled "The Fruit Burns, the Sweeter it Becomes," will be broadcast on the late-night anime slot "Animeism" on MBS, TBS, and other channels from late October 17th.
With the number of children who believe in Santa increasing, Mita gains the ability to make things fall in response to lies. Fuyumura tries to use this power to find someone who knows Ono's whereabouts, but Mita becomes suspicious and doubts what his classmates say, and faints. When Mita confides in Fuyumura about the pain of his power, Fuyumura takes out a round flask and deliberately tells a lie that will hurt him.
"SANDA" is a manga serialized in "Weekly Shonen Champion" (Akita Shoten) from July 2021 to July 2024. It is a unique "Santa Claus" hero action story set in a near-future Japan where children are overly protected in an era of extremely low birth rates. The anime is directed by Tomohisa Shimoyama, known for "Yurei Deco" and "SUPER SHIRO," and produced by Science SARU. Ayumu Murase plays the role of Mita Kazushige, and Tochi Hiroki plays the role of Santa Claus.
