The official website for the television anime based on Satoshi Mizukami’s Sengoku Youko manga announced on Thursday that the anime will premiere on Tokyo MX, ABC TV and Nagoya TV on January 10 and on BS Asahi on the 12th. January. It will air on Tokyo MX on Wednesdays at 11 p.m. (actually Thursday midnight JST or Wednesdays at 10 a.m. EST).
The anime will have two parts — “Yo Naoshi Kyōdai-hen”(World Reformation Siblings Part) and “Sen Ma Konton-hen” (Thousand Demons of Chaos Part) — and will last for three parts (a quarter year ) for a “complete” adaptation.
Masahiro Aizawa (Hakyū Hōshin Engi) is directing the anime at WHITE FOX. Jukki Hanada (Steins;Gate) wrote and supervised the script, Yousuke Okuda (In the Heart of Kunoichi Tsubaki) designed the characters, and Evan Call (Violet Evergarden) provided the music.
Tokyopop licensed the manga and published the fifth volume in English on September 23 digitally and January 23 in print. Tokyopop describes the story in the manga:
The world is divided into two factions: humans and monsters called katawara. Despite being a katawara, Tama loves humans and vows to protect them from evil, even if it means fighting her own kind. However, her brother Jinka hates humans, even though most are the same. The brothers are joined by a cowardly swordsman named Shinsuke, who wants to learn how to become strong.
Mizukami (Planet With, Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer) launched the manga in Mag Garden’s Monthly Comic Blade magazine in 2007 and moved it to the magazine’s online website after the magazine ceased publication in 2014. Mag Garden published the manga’s 17th and final compiled book volume in 2016.
