It has been announced that the TV anime "Haigakura," based on the manga by Shinobu Takayama, who is also known for "Amatsuki" and "Hanashoku no Shiro," will resume broadcasting on TOKYO MX, Sun TV, and BS Asahi in the summer of 2025. The TV anime began broadcasting in October 2024, but the broadcast of episodes 8 and beyond was postponed. To commemorate the resumption of broadcasting, a new key visual and promotional video featuring Ichiyo and Tenko have been released.
"Haigakura" is a manga that began serialization in "Comic ZERO-SUM Special Edition WARD" (Ichijinsha) in 2008, and is currently being serialized in "Zero Sum Online" (same publisher). The story is about the world of immortals, where gods and humans live, being on the brink of collapse, and the singer Ichiyo, who uses a technique called Kiseisai to capture the gods scattered all over the world, searching for the four evil gods who hold the key to the collapse of the world of immortals, together with her servant Tenkou. The total number of copies of the comic series published is over 1.3 million.
The anime will be directed by Junichi Yamamoto and produced by Typhoon Graphics, with Takeo Otsuka playing Ichiyo and Kaito Ishikawa playing Tenko.
