The supernatural mystery visual novel 9-nine- is getting a TV anime adaptation.

The PALETTE-developed series made its Japanese PC debut in 2017 before beginning to arrive on Steam in English in 2019. The all-ages version was released for Windows in Japan in 2021, and later for PS4 and Nintendo Switch in 2022. Steam describes Episode 1 as:

9-nine- Episode 1 is the first volume in a series of supernatural mystery games, with Episode 1 telling a story centered around Miyako Kujo. The entries in the the 9-nine- series share the same setting and world, but each entry focuses on a different heroine. 9-nine- is a tale of the town of Shiromitsugawa, host to mysterious Artifacts and the superpowers they bestow on their Users. A tale of growing trust and budding romance between the protagonist and the heroine, and also a murder mystery where they hunt down the culprit behind a series of supernatural murders. Each game has an independent story that can be enjoyed on its own. We hope you enjoy the experience that is the 9-nine- series.

The 9-nine- game has five installments so far. Steam currently has four, with Episode 4 being released in March 2021.

A concert with the name 9-nine- symphonicconcert2 with Animation will be held on September 8 at Tachikawa Stage Garden to celebrate the game getting an anime adaptation.
