Petals of Reincarnation is based on the manga by Mikihisa Konishi, which follows the unexceptional high schooler Toya Senji and involves a sword which can bestow upon someone the talents of a previous life by cutting oneself. The Mag Garden-published series started in 2014 and is serialized on MAGCOMI and Monthly Comic Blade. Volume 22 will be released on August 8, 2025 JST.
Last month, HIDIVE announced that it was involved in the anime’s production.
