Kagurabachi fans, rejoice! This super popular manga is officially getting a television series anime adaptation. The news came during Jump Press’ showcase event and there’s even a Kagurabachi trailer to get fans totally hyped up. While some animated ventures seem to take many years between an announcement and actually airing its first episode, this one is coming in April 2027.
To celebrate the first Kagurabachi episode, there will be a world tour with dates and locations announced in the near future.
Tetsuya Takeuchi (From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated!) will direct the Kagurabachi TV anime series at studio CyPic with Keigo Sasaki (Blue Exorcist) doing the show’s character designs. Taihi Kimura (Takeru Narihira in Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse) will voice the main character, Chihiro Rokuhira.
Here’s the description from Viz Media to go with that Kagurabachi trailer:
As a young boy, Chihiro trains every day under his father to become a swordsmith. Although different in temperament, the two spend peaceful days laughing and working together. But one day, tragedy strikes… Now Chihiro burns with hatred and sets out to exact revenge. Following clues left behind by a ruthless yakuza organization, Chihiro confronts the Hishaku, a deadly group of sorcerers that may be behind his father’s murder.
The coming months will surely give fans more looks into what this show will offer.
