The Fable‘s first season was a two-consecutive cour affair that began airing in April 2024. The anime is based on the manga by Katsuhisa Minami. Kodansha USA describes the manga’s synopsis as such:
When you’re the infamous “genius killer” hitman The Fable, many things come easy. Being a normal person, however, isn’t one of them. In fact, being told that he can’t kill anyone for a while may just be the hardest job he’s ever taken…
The Fable manga ran from 2014 to 2019 in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine and was collected into 22 tankobon volumes. It was followed by The Fable: The Second Contact, which began in 2021 and ended in 2023 with nine volumes. The Fable: The Third Secret began serialization in March 2025.
The manga has inspired a short story manga collection as well as a live-action movie duology.
