 Production company Pony Canyon opened an official website for a television anime adaptation of Yura Urushibara's Tougen Anki manga on Tuesday. The website also revealed the main cast, a teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser promotional video. The anime is scheduled to premiere in 2025.Cast Shiki Ichinose: Kazuki Ura (Blue Lock) Naito Mudano: Hiroshi Kamiya (Shingeki no Kyojin) Jin Kougasaki: Koutarou Nishiyama (Kiznaiver) Urushibara began drawing the action fantasy manga in Weekly Shounen Champion magazine in June 2020. Akita Shoten WILL ship the 20th volume on May 8. The manga series has a cumulative of over 3 million copies of its volumes in circulation. Yen Press licensed the manga for release in English in March 2024. Synopsis Individuals with Momotarou and Oni blood coursing through their veins maintain a longstanding rivalry. The Oni are careless, rash, and disorderly, while the Momotarou protect the human world from the uncontrollable Oni. Shiki Ichinose is a reckless and irresponsible teenager, aware of his defiance and even proud of his expulsion from school. Despite Shiki's rebellious attitude, his foster father, Tsuyoshi, cares about him deeply. Tsuyoshi's selfless love is soon shown in an explosive incident when a Momotarou barges in looking for Shiki. As a Momotarou himself, Tsuyoshi has been hiding Shiki for years and keeping his Oni origins a secret even from him. As he gives up his life to save Shiki and confesses everything in his dying breath, Shiki's Oni blood awakens for the first time, transforming him into an unruly monster overflowing with rage and a thirst for revenge. Shiki's momentary outburst attracts the attention of Naito Mudano, an Oni teacher at the Rakshasa Academy—an institution for young Oni in need of understanding and perfecting their powers. Before Shiki can avenge his father, he must learn to control his headstrong and impulsive nature and, above all, fight against his own demonic blood.

| Heard good things about this one so I'm looking forward to it. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
