The Disney+ Japanese YouTube channel uploaded a trailer for Twisted Wonderland: Episode of Heartslabyul, the anime adaptation of the titular game. At a minute and a half long, the trailer gives us a look at the disastrous opening ceremony, in which protagonist Yuken finds himself in Twisted Wonderland and meets Grim.
The trailer appeared online over the weekend, and is only available in Japanese. Most of the housewardens briefly appear in the trailer, as they’re present during the ceremony, save for Idia and Malleus.
You can watch the trailer below:
Yohei Azakami voices Yuken in the anime adaptation of Twisted Wonderland: Episode of Heartslabyul. Azakami’s prominent roles include Guel from Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, Mydei from Honkai: Star Rail, and Toshizo Hijikata from Blue Miburo.
Twisted Wonderland is a Japanese mobile game in which you attend a school full of characters “twisted” from Disney villains. It’s more akin to a text adventure with rhythm game and battle RPG elements than the dating sim some believe it to be. As a note, the anime is based off the manga adaptation rather than the game. There, the “Yu” changes from book to book. So it’s unknown if Yuken will remain the protagonist in the following Savanaclaw and Octavinelle parts, or if the anime will somehow introduce a different Yu.
Twisted Wonderland is available on mobile devices and the anime will start airing in October 2025 as a Disney+ exclusive. You can also read the manga in English via Viz.
