TV Asahi has announced a new children’s anime, *Kaidan Restaurant* (Thriller Restaurant), adapted from a picture book. Each episode is structured around three separate stories, called “dishes”: an appetizer, a main dish, and a dessert. The appetizer and main dish focus on Ako Ozara, an ordinary sixth‑grade student, and the strange happenings that affect her classmates. The dessert is a self‑contained ghost story told by Ako and her friends.
