The gag comedy Puniru is a Kawaii Slime has arrived on Crunchyroll and Netflix, complete with English dub and subtitle options. The 12-episode series adapts the manga of the same name and centers on Kotarou, a middle schooler whose slime friend, Puniru, unexpectedly transforms into a beautiful girl over their seven years of friendship.
Produced by TOHO animation STUDIO, the show leans into surreal humor and the 'cute girls doing cute things' trope, following the evolving dynamic between Kotarou and the now-human Puniru. The premise offers a twist on the typical monster girl narrative, focusing on the comedic fallout of a magical transformation within a school setting.
With the series finished, viewers can binge all 12 episodes now on both streaming platforms. This release follows the premiere of Puniru is a Kawaii Slime Season 2, indicating a recent surge in adaptations for the franchise.
