It’s an interesting combination of elements of folklore in its storyline and really well-thought-out action sequences; the anime guarantees to provide the viewers with a rather entertaining plot.

Dark Demon of Paradise or Maybe Hell?
We Will Know Soon Enough
Created by Yura Urushibara as both the writer and illustrator, it began serialization in Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine in June 2020. The series has gradually been building its audience and is currently on track to sell more than 3 million copies by mid-2024. Blending the events of the supernatural realm with the more grounded Japanese mythology has become something of a staple among the readership of action-fantasy manga.
The world is not so kind, that even the weak will be heard.
The anime is under the direction of Studio Hibari, who also animated Assassination Classroom. The direction was done by Ato Nonaka, with the script written by Yukie Sugawara, who has worked on the anime Overlord. This is the best place for series fans as they can expect to listen to music created by a famous composer, Kohta Yamamoto, who is familiar with composing the soundtrack for season 4 of Attack on Titan, so it’s safe to say we are in good hands.
What Makes Tougen Anki Stand Out
Why This News Should Excite Fans
It is a story about Shiki Ichinose, the teenage boy who discovers he is the descendant of the Oni—the demons who have been constantly fighting the Momotaro for hundreds of years. He finds himself in the middle of a conflict that questions his personality and destiny. This series is full of intriguing characters, and each has their own power and/or history that complement the story. Starting from Shiki’s own character development to the reasons of everyone in the supporting cast, the series promises to keep the audience interested.
And just like that, the release of the trailer has only escalated the excitement of the fans. Seeing glimpses of the animation style, energy, and characterization in the sneak peek, fans know what the adaptation has to offer them. Basically, the anime adaptation is a chance to let more people know about Tougen Anki. Although the manga has already made its name, the anime’s release may further the franchise’s popularity among fans of the anime and those who have no acquaintance with manga at all.
