A new “four seasons” summer key visual has been unveiled for the upcoming Tougen Anki: Legend of the Cursed Blood TV anime series, which is scheduled to premiere in 2025.
The anime’s main voice cast includes Kazuki Ura as Shiki Ichinose, Hiroshi Kamiya as Naito Mudano, and Kotaro Nishiyama as Jin Kogasaki.
The anime is based on the dark fantasy adventure manga by Yura Urushibara, which started serialization in Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion on June 11, 2020 and has released 20 tankobon volumes as of May 2024. A 21st volume is due out on September 6, 2024.
The manga previously inspired a 2024 stage play adaptation, which is described as being the first phase of the Tougen Anki project (the anime is the second phase).
Yen Press is releasing Tougen Anki in English, and describes the synopsis as:
Shiki Ichinose’s blood is Oni, and his father’s is Momotarou. Normally, those with Momotarou blood hunt the Oni—but Shiki’s father refused to kill him as an infant. Instead, he adopted Shiki and raised him despite the rebellious attitude and dangerous temper that come with Oni blood. When a member of the Momotarou Agency kills Shiki’s father, Shiki vows to avenge him. But as he hones his abilities and learns to control his Oni blood, will he be strong enough to survive the dangers waiting for him…?
