Kadokawa just released the promotional video, key visual, cast members and the 2027 premiere for the upcoming anime adaptation of Ichi Yukishiro’s Skull Dragon’s Precious Daughter (Hone Dragon no Manamusume) manga.
The cast of the anime includes Kana Hanazawa who voices Eve and Kazuhiko Inoue who stars as Nemu. Kuniyasu Nishina directs the anime at studio Dōga Kōbō. Yuka Yamada is in charge of the series scripts, and Tomoya Atsumi designs the characters. Kusanagi’s Daiki Kuribayashi and Yūki Hatakeyama are the background art directors.
Yukishiro fist released the manga on Mag Garden’s Mag Comi website in 2020. The publisher released the sixth collected volume in August 2025, while Seven Seas will release its English edition on December 1. The manga has been on hiatus since July and is scheduled to resume in spring 2026.
J-Novel Club and Seven Seas Entertainment release the manga digitally and in print, respectively. J-Novel Club describes the story:
In the Forest of Scraps, a place where all manner of things are discarded, an old dragon sleeps away his final days—that is, until an abandoned child suddenly appears before him. The tiny human is Eve, and despite being only five years of age, she has somehow endured the many dangers that surround them. In an act of pity, the dragon decides to raise her as his own…but his time is still running out.
After five years together, he takes his last breath, leaving his precious daughter on her own. Little does the dragon know, Eve is capable of more than he realizes, and their reunion may be sooner than he thinks…
Hoping to improve Eve’s control over her magical abilities before his resurrected body gives out, the skull dragon sets out on an adventure with his reckless human daughter—but who knows what kind of trouble awaits them?
