Sonny Boy
Sonny Boy
It’s an ordinary summer vacation...except for the fact that Nagara’s high school has mysteriously drifted into another dimension. As the students begin to develop strange new powers, will they work together to survive the alien environment and find a way home, or will their newly formed factions and rivalries turn on each other? (Source: Funimation) Note: The first episode received an advance release on YouTube on June 19, 2021. The regular TV broadcast started on July 16, 2021.

Shinjuku Subcenter
新宿副都心
The towering skyscrapers and urban landscape of Shinjuku's business district appear in establishing shots and background scenes. The imposing concrete and glass structures emphasize the characters' sense of being small within a vast, incomprehensible system, mirroring their experience in the drifted worlds.

Tamagawa Riverbank
多摩川河川敷
The expansive riverbank areas along the Tama River appear in several contemplative scenes throughout Sonny Boy. These open spaces with their mix of natural and urban elements reflect the series' themes of isolation and connection, particularly in scenes where characters reflect on their situation.

Tokyo Metropolitan Aoyama High School
東京都立青山高等学校
This prestigious high school in Tokyo's Shibuya district served as the primary inspiration for the school setting in Sonny Boy. The school's modern architecture and urban campus environment closely match the visual design of the fictional school where Nagara and his classmates experience their supernatural drift.
