A TV anime adaptation of the Uglymug, Epicfighter (Busamen Gachi Fighter) isekai story has been announced with a teaser visual.
Junichi Suwabe is voicing main protagonist Shigeru Furuoka. White Fox as the animation production studio.
Uglymug, Epicfighter debuted in 2015 as a Shousetsuka ni Narou web novel penned by Ryo Hiromatsu. It has inspired a physical volume published under the Kobunsha Light Books label that’s illustrated by Akira Banpai and a Square Enix-published manga series drawn by Osamu Kozuki. MangaUp! describes the latter as:
His looks are -255, touching girls causes him pain, and sexual acts will literally tear him apart. Just what can our ex-salesman Shigeru get in the other world in exchange for such inconveniences…? This is an epic tale of one very ugly, but ridiculously strong man!
The manga was serialized in Monthly Big Gangan and has been collected into six tankoubon volumes, with the last being released in 2021.
