Inio Asano 's manga Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction has been adapted into a 40-second short film using experimental 3DCG technology.
The short film is a partnership with computer manufacturer Mouse Computer , sponsored by the brand “DAIV,” and developed under the concept of “a PC for creators, by creators.”

The video was produced by Kohta Morie, who recently worked on the "Hungry Days" commercial for Nisshin Cup Noodles featuring One Piece characters. Furthermore, Asano has been using the brand's product for years, which is how the project came about.
Synopsis
One day, a menacing alien spaceship appeared, covering the city's sky; that was three years ago. The arrival of the "Invaders" triggered a great war between humanity and the invaders. Despite everything having changed, nothing has changed.
Koyama Kadode and Nakagawa Ouran live their days normally, going to school and hanging out with friends carefree. However, as they grow up, they discover the adult world, full of manipulative demons who deceive and destroy for their own benefit. Thus, they realize what the true threat to humanity is.
Finally, the slice-of-life science fiction manga Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction has been serialized in Shogakukan 's Big Comics Spirits since April 2014, with 9 volumes published so far. Furthermore, Asano is the author of the acclaimed drama manga Oyasumi Punpun (2007-2013). The manga received a jury recommendation at the 13th Japan Media Arts Festival Awards and was also nominated for the Eisner Award in 2017.
