A new official website has opened to confirm that a TV anime adaptation of Ayaka Katayama’s Fungus and Iron (Kin to Tetsu) manga is in the works. A new teaser visual for the Fungus and Iron anime was revealed alongside a celebratory illustration from Katayama.
Katayama launched the Fungus and Iron manga in Kodansha’s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in March 2021. The manga went on hiatus in August 2021 when Katayama went on maternity leave, and it later resumed serialization in March 2022. Kodansha published the first compiled book volume in July 2021, and eight volumes have been released as of October 9, 2025. Kodansha USA released the eighth volume in English digitally on February 24, 2026.
Kodansha USA Publishing releases the Fungus and Iron manga digitally and describes the manga’s story as follows:
Dante’s life on Amigasa seemed normal enough to him, even though everyone around him called him an oddball. But when a chance meeting with a young woman named Aoi changes everything, Dante can no longer sit idly by…unless, of course, he is made to!
