Wash It All Away Anime Announced for 2026: Cast, Staff, and Story Details
The gentle anime Wash It All Away premieres in 2026, following Wakana’s peaceful life running a laundry shop with heartwarming, emotional moments
The peaceful and kind-hearted manga Wash It All Away, originally written by Mitsuru Hattori, now it’s getting an anime adaptation set to come out in 2026. A teaser image already came out, and many fans already excited for this slow and comforting series.
Main Staff & Studio Revealed for the New Show
The production team is filled with experienced names that worked on popular projects in the past. Because of that, viewers are expecting a well-made anime, even if it's not that flashy. Here's who’s working behind the scenes:
- Director: Kenta Onishi
- Series Composition & Script: Toko Machida
- Character Designer: Azuma Tozawa
- Studio: Okuruto Noboru
With such creative team, there’s high hopes the show will hold on to the soft and emotional mood of the original manga.
A Story of Cleaning Clothes and Lost Memories
Originally starting in 2017, the manga was completed in 2023 after 10 full volumes. In the story, Wakana has been running a laundry shop for two years in Atami. She doesn’t remember anything from her past, but still lives peaceful and normal life. While she cleans clothes, she starts getting close with locals, visits hot springs, and slowly opens up to the world around her. But for her, laundry isn’t just a chore—it’s kind of emotional. She believes clothes hold memories of people, and by washing them, she is also protecting something special.
Unlike most anime that have fantasy and big action, Wash It All Away is slow, relaxing, and emotional. The teaser image showing Wakana standing outside her shop under warm-colored sky really gives a good feeling of what kind of story this will be.
This anime may not be full of fights or shouting scenes, but it brings something else—comfort, quiet healing, and meaningful moments. With a well-known voice actor and experienced staff, this adaptation could touch viewers who love more down-to-earth and thoughtful storytelling. More updates, like trailers and final release date, should be coming soon. But until then, this one looks like something to watch out for in 2026 if you prefer your anime soft and heartwarming.
