The Gender of Mona Lisa Anime Adaptation Announced, Produced by SHAFT

The Gender of Mona Lisa has officially been announced for a television anime adaptation, with acclaimed studio SHAFT handling the animation production. A new teaser visual was also unveiled.

Originally created as a manga series, The Gender of Mona Lisa has surpassed 1 million copies in circulation. The story is set in a world where children are born without a defined gender. Around the age of 12, their bodies begin changing toward the gender they desire, and by 14 they ultimately become either male or female.

A Coming of Age Story About Identity and Love

The series follows Hinase Arima, the only person who has remained genderless even after turning 18. While struggling with uncertainty about their identity, Hinase spends ordinary days alongside childhood friends Ritsu Kaga and Shiori Takayama.

That quiet routine is disrupted when both friends confess their feelings, setting Hinase on a journey of self discovery, identity, and romance.

Special Panel Announced for AnimagiC

A special panel for The Gender of Mona Lisa will be held at AnimagiC, one of Europe's largest anime, manga, and gaming conventions, held in Mannheim, Germany.

The event will feature the anime's main cast and will also host the world premiere of the teaser PV, marking the first public screening of footage from the series.
