by A preview of the first episode of the TV anime “Forbidden Mole” based on the original work by Natsumi Eguchi, “Somewhere in Tokyo,” has been released.
“Forbidden Mole”, which will be broadcast on July 7, tells the story of Mole, also known as Hyakuan Momoyumi, who has been banned from the afterlife for some reason and is trying to return to it. In the first episode, Maki Kuriaki and Yaeko Kirihara witness a man who passes by them and is hit in the head with a Kojien dictionary, causing him to collapse and bleed.
The man refuses their help and an ambulance and runs away with agility that is hard to believe for an injured person. The man then calls himself “Mole” and says something strange: “I will not die because I have been banned from the afterlife.”
