Pony Canyon announced Hekiru Hikawa’s Hanaori-san Wants to Have a Fight Even If She Reincarnates (Hanaori-san wa Tensei Shitemo Kenka ga Shitai) manga will receive an anime adaptation in 2026 with the English title Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life. A new key visual for the Hanaori-san Still Wants to Fight in the Next Life anime was also revealed.
Pony Canyon describes the anime’s story as follows:
The story follows Ryūsei Narukami, a shut-in who spends his days playing games, but who had once been a Demon King in another world. It also follows Meteor Hanaori, the former hero who defeated him and is now a high school girl. This romantic comedy between a former Demon King and a former Hero is now set to be brought to life as an anime.
Hikawa also commented on the announcement of the anime:
“When I first heard that Hanaori-san was going to be turned into an anime, I thought it was a dream—I couldn’t tell it apart from the reality my stress had shown me. It seems that it really is being adapted.
As the author, I am fortunate to be involved in the anime production at such a wonderful distance, and they are creating an anime that preserves the original atmosphere while being fun, amazing, and stylish—so maybe it really is a dream.
Let’s meet in a dream, everyone.”
Lastly, Hikawa launched the manga in Kodansha’s Morning two magazine in August 2021, and the manga’s eighth volume will release on September 22 in Japan.
