Posted by Noon Anime Team on October 15, 2025
Hold onto your game controllers, because the master of retro romance is switching genres! Here at Noon Anime, we've got electrifying news for all you fans of Hi Score Girl. The incredible creator, Rensuke Oshikiri, is officially launching a brand-new manga series, and it's set to drop on December 12th! Get ready to trade the glow of the arcade for the shadows of the supernatural.
Oshikiri's new masterpiece is titled Kasaneya Tarō Kaii Roku, and the premise is absolutely golden. The story follows a ghost story writer who, in a stroke of genius irony, is a complete and utter coward! We're talking about a protagonist who writes about terrifying ghouls and spirits for a living but would probably scream and run at the slightest bump in the night. This sets the stage for what is sure to be a perfect blend of genuine horror and laugh-out-loud comedy.
Knowing Oshikiri's unique and incredibly expressive art style, we can't wait to see how he portrays this clash of spooky atmospheres and hilarious panic. It's a massive shift from the heartfelt, nostalgic world of Haruo and Akira, but it's a concept that feels tailor-made for his creative genius. Will our cowardly hero find his courage, or will he just provide us with endless entertainment through his terrified antics? We are so hyped to find out! Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for Kasaneya Tarō Kaii Roku this December!
