The official website for the television anime adaptation of Kakeru Utsugi's How to keep a mummy ( Miira no Kaikata ) manga revealed a new key visual and the premiere dates on Friday.

The show's staff will hold a pre-screening event of the first episode on December 24.

Crunchyroll is releasing the original manga digitally in English, and it describes the story:

When high school student Sora Kashiwagi finds himself staring down a mysterious oversized package sent to him by his self-proclaimed "adventurer" father, the last thing he expects is for it to be opened from the inside... by a little mummy so small it can fit in the palm of his hand!

Kaori (Yuyushiki, Bottom Biting Bug 2nd season) is directing the anime at studio 8-bit. Deko Akao (Flying Witch, Noragami, Frame Arms Girl) is handling the series composition, and Takahiro Kishida (Welcome to the Ballroom, Madoka Magica, Durarara!!) is the character designer. Atsushi Nasuda is producing the anime.
