It has been revealed that Arakawa Hiromu, known for popular manga such as "Fullmetal Alchemist" and "Silver Spoon", will be making her latest work "Yomi no Tsugai" into a TV anime. It was also announced that the TV anime will be produced by Square Enix, Aniplex, and Bones. This production lineup is the same as the "Fullmetal Alchemist" anime series that was broadcast and released from 2003 to 2011, and with "Yomi no Tsugai" the series will take on a new stage. A teaser visual featuring the main character Yuru and a Teaser trailer have been released.
The main staff was also announced. Masahiro Ando, known for "Stranger: Mukou Hadan" and "Zetsuen no Tempest," will serve as director, Nobuhiro Arai, known for "Bungo Stray Dogs," will be in charge of character design, Noboru Takagi, known for "Durarara!!" and "Golden Kamuy," will be in charge of series composition, and Kenichiro Suehiro, known for "Re:Zero," will be in charge of music.
Original author Arakawa commented, "No, Brother Mecha!! It was decided that this would be made into an anime quite some time ago, and I have been waiting for a long time for the day that I could announce it to the world. It is all thanks to everyone's support that we have been able to get this far. Thank you! As I write this, I have yet to see Yuruasa and the others in action, but in Director Ando's storyboards that keep coming up one after another, they are really moving around a lot. They are already so dynamic on paper, but now they are given voices and colors and sounds... I wonder what kind of fun anime it will become! I'm looking forward to it! There is still a while until it airs, so please wait in anticipation while studying and reviewing the already published volumes!"
"Yomi no Tsugai" is a "phantom" fantasy that has been serialized in "Monthly Shonen Gangan" (Square Enix) since December 2021. Yuru, a boy who lives in a small village deep in the mountains, hunts wild birds and lives a quiet life in the great outdoors, but Yuru's twin sister Asa is somehow performing her "duty" in a prison deep in the village, as if she were imprisoned... This is how the story unfolds. Nine volumes of the comic have been released, and the total number of copies of the series has exceeded 4 million. The latest volume 10 will be released on July 11th.
