The fables ran from 2014 to 2019 in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine and were collected into 22 tankoubon volumes. Next up is The Fable: The Second Contact, which begins in 2021 and ends in 2023 with nine episodes.
Kodansha USA describes the plot as:
When you’re the infamous “genius” Assassin The Fable, a lot of things come easy. However, being a normal person is not one of them. In fact, being told he can’t kill anyone for a while might be the hardest job he’s ever taken on…
The manga inspired a collection of short comics as well as a live-action film..
The anime was announced in July 2023. One of the character designers listed at the time, Junichi Hayama (pet), no longer appears in the staff credits.
