Migi and Dali is one such manga that has gained immense popularity after being released in 2017, but unfortunately, its author passed away in August 2023, leaving one of his best works behind to be adapted into an anime.

So, without further ado, here’s everything you need to know about Migi and Dali anime.
Migi and Dali Anime Plot
Migi and Dali is adapted from a popular manga of the same name that consists of 7 volumes (44 chapters), and seeing as how the official trailer has already been released, we can glean so much from it.
The story revolves around Hitori, an orphan adopted by a middle-aged couple in the Oregon village. Despite leading a luxurious life in a spacious mansion and delicious meals every day, Hitori is still unsatisfied for some reason.
Furthermore, he holds a huge secret: Hitori is not a single boy but two twin brothers, Migi and Dali, searching for their birth mother in the Oregon village. While Migi is gentle and emotional, Dali is quite the opposite to him, making their relationship a bit complicated.
Nonetheless, they must navigate through their new life without exposing their secret, or else something grim could happen to both Migi and Dali, as well as their adopted parents. What other mysteries do these twins bear?
