While the world may despise him, Soji is willing to do anything it takes to keep his sister healthy, but like any great shonen manga, something fantastical happens that changes Soji’s life forever.

With the popularity of online live-streaming content being at an all-time high, having a series that looks as stunning as Dead Account manages to have a real conversation about the industry while also boasting a high-stakes shonen action series is sure to make the anime an absolute powerhouse once it releases. As of writing, there’s been no official release date given for Dead Account‘s anime adaptation, but considering the series features a star-studded cast featuring the aforementioned Nobuhiko Okamoto, who will be paticipating in the autograph giveaway, the show will also showcase the talents of Koki Uchiyama as Kukuru Kasubata, and Fairouz Ai as Kiyomi Urusugawa.Source: Dead Account Official Anime WebsiteThe post Dead Account Anime to Host Giveaway Featuring Its Main Star appeared first on ComicBook.
