Fantasy Battle Action Manga 'Karakuri Circus' Gets TV Anime
Synopsis
The protagonist, Masaru, has just inherited a big fortune after the death of his father. However, people are trying to get their hands on it by any means necessary, even if it means killing him. Narumi helps Masaru from being kidnapped after fighting strange figures. He finds out that they're not humans, but wooden puppets with amazing strength. After a hard fight, Narumi is forced to admit that he's no opponent for them; and just when he starts to think that Masaru will be captured, Shirogane, Masaru's watcher arrives from France with a weapon, the puppet Arlequin. Here begins the story of Karakuri Circus. (Source: Baka-Updates Manga, edited)
Kazuhiro Fujita drew Karakuri Circus after ending the serialization of Ushio to Tora. The series was published in Shounen Sunday between 1997 and 2006 and originally compiled into 43 volumes. Shogakukan later reprinted the series in 23 wide edition volumes between 2011 and 2013. According to Shogakukan, Karakuri Circus has sold a cumulative 15 million copies of its compiled volumes.
A 30-second animated promotional video was created for the manga in 1998. Characters from the series also appeared in a 1999 omnibus animated commercial commemorating the 40th anniversary of Shounen Sunday.

Who will animate this series will be the Revoroot Studio, or Geno Studio. Both studios belong to Twin Engine, which has already announced that it will work the animation of this series.

Ohhh. Not what i expected but interesting.
Although Twin Engine and its subsidiaries, Geno Studio and Revoroot are of my interest [I see a lot of potential in this group], it was not the [studio] I had thought of either. I had thought about the MAPPA studio. There is a great acquisition of good works by good studios. MAPPA has already taken some very important works, both for the program Noitamina [which usually invests in adapting iconic manga], and of manga praised to adapt in traditional TV animation.
Although the adaptation of this series is not necessarily for the Noitamina, nevertheless it is still an interesting adaptation, being the manga of a highly praised author.

Nice, a commemorative adaptation, I guess? What is the celebrated event?
the author's last work (which is Ushio to Tora)
Since when is it this man's last work? o_O He keeps writing other series or one-shots and Ushio & TOra is one of his first works.
I just meant adapted into anime. Not mangas.

But with Karakuri Circus is most difficult.

A shounen manga that ended almost 12 years ago, with a total of 426 chapters, is getting an anime. There's no way that they're going to make this a complete adaptation, is there? It'd have to be about 106 episodes to cover the whole manga.
