A key visual has been released for the upcoming Sengoku Youko‘s first arc, Yonaoshi Kyoudai-hen. The anime is set to premiere in Japan on January 10, 2024 (effectively January 11 at 12 AM JST).
©?????/???????????????????Sengoku Youko is an adaptation of the manga by Satoshi Mizukami, which began serialization in Mag Garden’s Monthly Comic Blade in 2007 and ended in 2016 with 17 tankoubon volumes. INKR describes the plot as:
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. Her brother Jinka, however, hates humans, despite mostly being one. The siblings are joined by a cowardly swordsman named Shinsuke, who wants to learn how to become strong. When the group uncovers a plot to experiment on humans and transform them into monsters, they vow to defeat whoever is behind it… Even if it means battling an entire army of warriors. The people they meet, places they see, and creatures they battle will be legendary!
The anime will have three cours.
