LEED Publishing announced a television anime adaptation of Rocket Shoukai and Nakashima723's Yuusha no Kuzu (Scum of the Brave) manga on Saturday. The publishing company also opened an official website, revealing a teaser visual (pictured above) and an announcement promo. The anime series is being produced by animation studio OLM (Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu., Odd Taxi), and will air on NTV (Nippon Television Network).

Rocket Shoukai originally penned the main story as a web novel on the Kakuyomu website from February to March in 2016. Kadokawa published the novel under its Kadokawa Books imprint in December that year, featuring illustrations by Yuuya Kusaka (Majutsushi Orphen).

Nakashima723 originally self-published the manga on the web in June 2018 and released the first volume on the Kindle Indies Manga platform in November that year. Comic Border began serializing a manga adaptation in February 2022. LEED Publishing released the sixth volume in May 2024, with the seventh volume going on sale on March 21.

The first volume was released in English by comic translation engine Mantra Comics in March 2020. Manga Planet began publishing the chapters in English in May 2020.

Synopsis
By the mid-21st century, Tokyo's criminal underworld is ruled by Demon Lords—crime bosses who have undergone ether enhancement surgery, granting them terrifying superpower abilities. The only ones who can take them down are Heroes, bounty hunters who boost their own ether powers using the drug E3 (E-Three). With legalized killing as part of the job, being a Hero is less about justice and more about survival.

Yashiro, known as the Reaper, is one such Hero—an independent enforcer who works alone. That is, until Jougamine, a high school girl and self-proclaimed "apprentice," forces her way into his life. Reluctantly taking her under his wing, Yashiro soon finds himself caught in a whirlwind of deadly conflicts.

A cynical veteran and an eager disciple—together, they dive into a world of brutal, superpower warfare in this explosive modern fantasy action saga!

Who would have thought that Oshi no Ko's Ai would be reborn in the battle shonen world to fight crime as an esper.

This looks pretty neat! These character designs are cool, and the concept doesn't feel too generic. It seems like this has a light novel and a manga, but neither are fully translated. I skimmed over chapter 1, and it was actually interesting.
