In a World Full of Zombies, I’m the Only One Who Doesn’t Get Attacked has released its first teaser trailer, confirming that the television anime will begin airing in Japan in January 2027.
The new promotional video provides the first voiced look at protagonist Yusuke Takemura and heroine Mitsuki Fujino while introducing the disturbing situation at the center of the zombie survival story.
Wataru Kato will voice Yusuke, a former office worker who discovers that zombies inexplicably ignore him. Yuno Higashi will portray Mitsuki, a young woman attempting to survive while protecting her two younger brothers after losing her parents.
The anime was previously scheduled to begin sometime in 2026. According to the production committee, the premiere was moved to January 2027 so the series could be delivered in a better form.

The Release Was Delayed From 2026
The adaptation was previously promoted for a 2026 television premiere.
The official website announced on June 25, 2026, that the broadcast had been rescheduled for January 2027 due to production circumstances.
The committee explained that the adjustment was made to present the work in a better form, although it did not reveal any specific production problems behind the delay.
The new January window gives the animation staff additional time to develop the ruined urban environments, zombie crowds and tense character interactions shown in the teaser.
The First Teaser Introduces Yusuke and Mitsuki
The teaser begins by establishing the collapse of ordinary civilization.
Zombies have suddenly appeared throughout the city and are attacking everyone they encounter. Streets become dangerous, communication systems fail and survivors are forced to search for shelter while society rapidly falls apart.
Yusuke initially appears to be another potential victim. However, he quickly realizes that the infected do not respond to his presence.
He can walk close to them without provoking an attack, giving him an extraordinary advantage that no other known survivor possesses.
The trailer contrasts that safety with Mitsuki’s desperate struggle to protect herself and her younger brothers. Their encounter brings together two people experiencing the apocalypse from completely different positions.
What Is In a World Full of Zombies, I’m the Only One Who Doesn’t Get Attacked About?
The story follows Yusuke Takemura, a former salaryman who has little interest in society or the welfare of other people.
When zombies suddenly begin spreading through the city, civilization collapses almost immediately. Ordinary people are bitten, killed or forced into increasingly desperate attempts to survive.
Yusuke is also bitten during the outbreak, but the incident does not transform him into an ordinary zombie.
Instead, he discovers that the infected completely ignore him.
The strange condition allows him to move through zombie-infested areas with an almost absolute level of safety. He can gather supplies, enter abandoned buildings and cross streets that would be deadly to any other survivor.
However, Yusuke does not immediately use that ability to become a heroic protector.
With law, morality and social expectations collapsing around him, he begins acting according to his own desires.
His encounter with Mitsuki and other survivors gradually forces him to decide whether his immunity makes him responsible for helping people who cannot protect themselves.
Yusuke Takemura Is an Unconventional Zombie Protagonist
Yusuke differs considerably from the optimistic or self-sacrificing heroes commonly found in survival stories.
Even before the outbreak, he had little attachment to his job, society or the people around him.
The end of civilization removes the rules that previously restricted his behavior, giving him the freedom to do almost anything without fear of punishment.
His immunity to zombie attacks makes that freedom even more dangerous.
Most survivors must cooperate because isolation would lead to death. Yusuke does not face the same immediate pressure. He can abandon people, enter infected areas alone and survive situations that would destroy an ordinary group.
The story therefore does not begin by asking whether he can defeat the zombies. It asks what kind of person he will become when the most common threat no longer applies to him.
Wataru Kato Voices Yusuke Takemura
Wataru Kato will provide the Japanese voice of Yusuke Takemura.
The role requires a performance capable of communicating the protagonist’s emotional detachment, selfish instincts and gradual reactions to the people depending on him.
Yusuke is not presented as a conventional noble survivor. His decisions can be cold and morally uncomfortable, especially when he realizes that zombies cannot threaten him directly.
Kato’s performance in the teaser emphasizes the character’s calm response to circumstances that would terrify almost anyone else.
Mitsuki Fujino Is Fighting to Protect Her Brothers
Mitsuki Fujino is the principal heroine introduced in the teaser.
Before the outbreak, she lived a relatively protected life and was valued by the people around her because of her beauty and honest personality.
The zombie disaster changes everything. Mitsuki loses her parents and is left responsible for her two young brothers.
Unlike Yusuke, she does not possess any special protection from the infected.
Every search for food, medicine or shelter can place her family in danger. She must remain cautious while attempting to reassure children who have already lost almost everything familiar to them.
Meeting Yusuke introduces the possibility of safety, but depending on him also means trusting a man whose priorities and morality remain difficult to understand.
Yuno Higashi Voices Mitsuki Fujino
Yuno Higashi will voice Mitsuki.
Her performance must balance fear and vulnerability with the determination required to protect two younger children during the end of civilization.
The teaser offers an early example of the emotional contrast between her and Yusuke.
Mitsuki experiences the zombies as a constant and immediate threat. Yusuke can approach the same creatures without fear, creating an imbalance that shapes their relationship from the beginning.
The Story Focuses on Morality After Civilization Collapses
The title’s central ability changes the usual structure of a zombie narrative.
Yusuke does not need to spend every moment hiding from the infected. His greatest conflicts instead emerge from other survivors and from the choices he makes when nobody can force him to behave responsibly.
The official description emphasizes a world in which ethics and morality have effectively disappeared.
Food, medicine, shelter and physical security become valuable enough for people to exploit one another. Survivors who once followed social rules may become dangerous when those systems no longer exist.
Yusuke’s unique condition gives him extraordinary leverage in that environment.
He can recover supplies that others desperately need, but deciding whether to share them remains entirely his choice.
The Anime Is Intended for a Mature Audience
The original work contains mature subject matter alongside zombie violence and survival drama.
Its official promotional description presents the story as an exploration of both life and sexuality in a world where ordinary moral structures have disappeared.
The adaptation is scheduled for AT-X, a Japanese network known for carrying anime aimed at older audiences.
The production has not yet detailed how the television version will handle the more adult elements of the source material or whether multiple broadcast versions will be offered.
Viewers should not approach the series as a lighthearted zombie comedy simply because its protagonist possesses an unusual advantage.
Kazuya Fujishiro Directs the Anime
Kazuya Fujishiro will direct the television adaptation.
The production must balance several different tones, including zombie horror, survival tension, morally uncomfortable character drama and the protagonist’s unusual sense of security.
Scenes involving Yusuke walking calmly among the infected need to feel distinct from sequences following Mitsuki and other vulnerable survivors.
That contrast can help communicate how isolated Yusuke has become from the fear governing everyone else.
Yasushi Hirano Handles Series Composition
Yasushi Hirano is responsible for series composition.
The adaptation must introduce the outbreak, establish Yusuke’s immunity and develop his relationship with the survivors without rushing the moral conflicts that make the premise distinctive.
Hirano will also need to organize material originating from a long-running web novel into an effective television structure.
Kayo Shimoyama and Makuto Okimi Write the Scripts
Kayo Shimoyama and Makuto Okimi are credited as scriptwriters.
Their work will translate the source material’s internal narration and mature themes into scenes driven by dialogue, character acting and visual storytelling.
Yusuke’s private thoughts are particularly important because his outward calm does not always reveal the motives behind his decisions.
Megumi Ishihara Designs the Characters
Megumi Ishihara serves as character designer.
The anime’s visual presentation must distinguish between exhausted survivors, recently infected people and zombies at different stages of deterioration.
Yusuke’s relatively composed appearance also needs to contrast with Mitsuki and the other survivors, whose lives are shaped by constant fear and limited resources.
Acca effe and Frontier Engine Produce the Animation
Animation production is being handled jointly by Acca effe and Frontier Engine.
The teaser presents abandoned streets, bloodied interiors and groups of infected people moving through the collapsed city.
Crowd animation will be especially important because the premise depends on showing zombies reacting violently to ordinary humans while completely ignoring Yusuke.
The first promotional video provides only an early sample and should not be treated as a complete representation of the final series.

The Story Began as an Online Novel
Rokuro Uraji began publishing the original story online in 2013.
The work was later commercially published through the Nox Novels label in 2016, featuring illustrations by Saburo.
Its unusual combination of zombie survival, a morally questionable protagonist and mature subject matter helped the series develop a significant online following.
The anime is the latest adaptation of a property that has already expanded from web fiction into published novels, manga and an earlier interactive game version.
The Manga Adaptation Began in 2021
A manga adaptation illustrated by Chihiro Masuda began serialization in 2021.
The manga is published through the COMIC Ragchew platform and continues to introduce the story to readers who may not have encountered the original prose version.
Its visual interpretation of the zombies, ruined city and surviving characters provides one possible reference for the television production.
Why Do the Zombies Ignore Yusuke?
Yusuke’s immunity is the central mystery of the premise.
He is not merely resistant to infection. The zombies behave as though he is not a valid target at all.
The teaser does not explain whether this condition is biological, supernatural or connected to the circumstances of his original bite.
Understanding the cause could become important if other survivors or organizations attempt to reproduce, exploit or remove his protection.
The production has not revealed how quickly the anime will begin answering that mystery.
Human Survivors May Be More Dangerous Than the Zombies
Yusuke’s immunity does not make him completely invulnerable.
Other humans can still threaten, manipulate or attack him.
As supplies disappear, survivor groups may view his ability to cross infected territory as an invaluable resource.
Some may ask for his help, while others could attempt to control him or determine why he is different.
The collapse of authority also means there is no reliable system capable of protecting weaker survivors from exploitation.
What Remains Unknown About the Anime?
The exact January 2027 premiere date and broadcast time remain unannounced.
The number of episodes and the amount of source material being adapted have not been confirmed.
International streaming plans and dubbed-language availability are also unknown.
Only Yusuke and Mitsuki have received official casting announcements so far.
Opening and ending theme songs have not been revealed.
The production has also not explained whether the anime will receive edited and uncut versions because of its mature content.
Final Thoughts
In a World Full of Zombies, I’m the Only One Who Doesn’t Get Attacked will begin airing on AT-X in January 2027.
The premiere was moved from its previously announced 2026 window so the production team could deliver the anime in a better form.
The first teaser introduces Wataru Kato as Yusuke Takemura, a selfish former office worker who discovers that zombies completely ignore him.
Yuno Higashi voices Mitsuki Fujino, a young survivor struggling to protect her two younger brothers after the loss of their parents.
Kazuya Fujishiro directs the adaptation, with Yasushi Hirano handling series composition, Megumi Ishihara designing the characters and Acca effe working with Frontier Engine on animation production.
By giving its protagonist near-total safety from the infected, the series shifts the central question away from whether he can survive and toward what he will choose to do when fear, law and morality no longer have the same power over him.
