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.
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 2023. “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.”
Lastly, Haigakura will premiere on October 7 in Japan.
