Otherworldly Munchkin Manga Inspires Anime

November 5, 2024

The Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP! (Isekai Munchkin —HP1 no Mama de Saikyou Saisoku Dungeon Kouryaku—) manga is getting a TV anime.

The anime will be directed by Mamoru Yokota (Kinnikuman Perfect Origin Arc animation supervisor) at Durandal, which proclaims itself to be Gunma’s first animation studio.

Otherworldly Munchkin is written by Yu Shimizu and drawn by Makoto Aogiri, and is serialized in Kodansha’s Suiyoubi no Sirius. Kodansha USA describes the premise as:

16-year-old Yukito Kirihara lives with his 14-year-old sister Sana, who he treasures more than anyone else. But when an ogre shows up outside of his window looking for Sana (a shocking event in its own right), Yukito leaps to save her—and is killed. He’s offered the promise of reincarnation by a mysterious woman, who gives him a character sheet in a mysterious book. But when Yukito sees Sana in there, too, he sets off to find her, and save them both—even if he only has 1 hp with which to do it!

The manga debuted in 2019 and will release its 11th tankoubon volume on November 8 JST.
