The official website for the upcoming Haigakura anime series confirms that the anime will premiere in fall 2024. The anime’s second key visual was revealed as well.
Shinobu Takayama’s Haigakura manga was serialized from 2008 to 2015 in Ichijinsha’s Comic ZERO-SUM EXTRA WARD magazine. After the Ichijinsha magazine ceased publication, the manga continued its run on the ZERO-SUM Online website. In August 2023, the new Haigakura TV anime adaptation was confirmed for 2024.
Haigakura Anime Fall 2024 Premiere and New Key Visual
Alongside the fall 2024 confirmation, the latest update to the official Haigakura website reveals the second key visual:
Typhoon Graphics is producing Haigakura anime. Junichi Yamamoto is the director, and Yū Murai is handling the series composition. Yuki Kurihara is the composer of Haigakura’s music. The Haigakura anime’s voice cast includes:
- Takeo Otsuka as Ichiyou
- Kaito Ishikawa as Tenkou
- Lynn as Hakusyurin
- Hiro Shimono as Ransaiwa
- Satoshi Hino as Sontou
The story of Haigakura takes place in the world of Senkai. This is a sacred world where immortals and humans live, but it’s on the verge of collapse. Protagonist Ichiyou and his follower Tenkou set out on a journey to search for the four evil gods responsible for bringing ruin to Senkai. Ichiyou is a poet warrior who uses a technique called Kessai to capture such evil gods.
“It has been 15 years this year since I started drawing the manga in obscurity in a bimonthly magazine, Shinobu Takayama said in a message released in August. “I am amazed at how much time has passed, but I can’t believe that in the 15th year, an anime adaptation has been decided…! Even now, I can’t get over the surprise. To all of you who gave me so much support and effort to make this project a reality, thank you so much. I hope you will continue to support both Haigakura, the manga and the anime.”
