Episodes 11-13 of the anime’s first cour were released on March 31, 2026 and were part of the “Asuka Arc” storyline.
The split-cour TV anime adaptation began airing on October 7, 2025, with the series encountering a delay midway into its run due to “production circumstances.” As a result, the sixth episode aired on December 2, 2025 instead of November 11, 2025 and the last three episodes were pushed out of its original December broadcast slot.
Yuji Tokuno (storyboard artist and episode director for Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 Episode 20, OSHI NO KO Episode 10, YAIBA: Samurai Legend Episode 6) is directing the anime series, with Naruhisa Arakawa (More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers) as series composer and co-scriptwriter, original light novel author Hiromu as co-scriptwriter, and Sumie Kinoshita (Spy Classroom) as character designer. Feel. is handling the animation production.

- • Shogo Sakata as Saku Chitose
- • Manaka Iwami as Yuko Hiiragi
- • Hina Yomiya as Yua Uchida
- • Ikumi Hasegawa as Yuzuki Nanase
- • Rumi Okubo as Haru Aomi
- • Chika Anzai as Asuka Nishino
The light novel series is written by Hiromu and illustrated by raemz. It was first published by Shogakukan’s Gagaga Bunko imprint on June 18, 2019, and has released nine main volumes as of August 2024, as well as three short story collections. Yen Press licensed the light novels for English release.
The light novels also inspired a manga adaptation by Bobcat from 2020 to 2025. It was published by Square Enix, with Yen Press releasing it in English.
