The first promotional video for the television anime adaptation of Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest has arrived, offering a glimpse into the series' Icelandic setting. Alongside the trailer, the production team confirmed that Tomohiro Ōno will provide the voice for the 17-year-old private investigator Kei Miyama. The project is currently slated for a 2027 premiere on TBS, with Netflix securing the rights for exclusive worldwide streaming.
Created by Aki Irie, the original manga follows Miyama, a teenager with the unique ability to communicate with cars, as he navigates life and mystery in Iceland. The narrative balances episodic detective work with a deeper, personal search for his missing younger brother. The series has seen a complex publishing history, transitioning from Harta to Aokishi before moving to its current publisher, Yukiwarisō, in 2025.
While the 2027 release window provides a clear target for the production, the studio responsible for the animation has yet to be formally announced. Given the manga's distinct visual style and atmospheric focus on the Icelandic landscape, the choice of studio will likely be a key factor in how the series translates to the screen. Which aspect of the manga's unique setting are you most looking forward to seeing animated?
