A total of 24 volumes of the comic have been released, with a total circulation of about 17 million copies.
The new anime will be fully supervised by the original author Aoyama, and will be fully animated after about 30 years since the series was completed. Following on from the TV anime "Yaiba: The Legend of Swordsman" which aired from 1993 to 1994, Takayama will play the main character Yaiba Kurogane. It will be produced by WIT STUDIO, known for "Attack on Titan" and "SPY×FAMILY". It will be broadcast on Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV every Saturday at 5:30 pm from April.
