About the work

Unlike traditional adaptations of manga or novels, Charisma was born in 2021 as an ambitious 2D multimedia project driven by the music label Evil Line Records and the company Dazed. The franchise quickly built a solid and passionate fan base thanks to its constant musical releases, voice dramas, and massive live concerts. The undeniable success of the project led to the launch of two successful manga adaptations published in Japanese magazines between 2023 and 2024, paving the way for its imminent debut on Japanese television.

Charisma Synopsis

The story invites us inside the walls of a peculiar shared house inhabited by seven completely unique men. Each of these extravagant residents possesses an overwhelming "charisma"; that is, a personality trait or gift so extreme that it completely defines their way of being and acting in the world. From blind obedience to absolute rebellion, passing through excessive self-love and obsessive order, the seven young men must learn to live together under the same roof, sharing daily chores and kitchen space. Amidst hilarious and ridiculous personality clashes in their daily lives, the group will find a way to combine their unusual talents to achieve goals and dreams much bigger than they ever imagined.
