\n\tThe adaptation was unveiled at Anime Expo 2026.<\/p>\n

\n\tSerialized in Square Enix\u2019s Young Gangan since August 2013, \u201cMurci\u00e9lago\u201d has sold more than 2.3 million copies worldwide and runs 28 volumes in Japan, with 26 volumes released internationally.<\/p>\n

\n\tHIDIVE, the anime streaming service from AMC Global Media, will carry the series exclusively for subscribers in the U.S. and Canada, along with the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe story centers on Kuroko Koumori, a former death-row inmate recruited under an unusual legal arrangement to work as an executioner for the state, and her partner Hinako Tozakura, an unassuming young woman with exceptional driving skills. Together the pair take on threats hidden within society.<\/p>\n

\n\tNaoya Takashi, whose credits include \u201cAm I Actually the Strongest?\u201d and \u201cTales of Wedding Rings,\u201d is chief director on the project, while Asami Matsuo, known for \u201cI\u2019m the Villainess, but I\u2019m Being Doted on by the Crown Prince of the Neighboring Kingdom\u201d and \u201cPlaying Death Games to Put Food on the Table,\u201d is directing. Satelight, the studio behind \u201cDrops of God\u201d and \u201cPSYREN,\u201d and Staple Entertainment, which produced \u201cTales of Wedding Rings\u201d and \u201cWatari-kun\u2019s ****** Is About to Collapse,\u201d are jointly handling animation.<\/p>\n

\n\tTateishi Sei is designing the characters, with Akita Masanori and Tsuchiya Yuichi composing the score.<\/p>\n

\n\tAlongside the announcement, producers released a teaser, a key visual and a commemorative illustration, plus messages from Yoshimura and the two directors.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cEver since I chose the profession of manga artist, having one of my works adapted into an anime has been one of my greatest dreams,\u201d Yoshimura said. Yoshimura thanked readers and collaborators for helping bring the project to life and encouraged fans to keep following both the manga and the anime.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThis was my first time participating in a project in the capacity of chief director, so while respecting the authority of the director, I took on responsibilities where I could best contribute, namely series composition, scriptwriting, and storyboarding,\u201d Takashi said.<\/p>\n

\n\tTakashi named Manj\u016bbito, Hinako, Urara and Momoyama among his favorite characters in the series. \u201cBut\u2026 in the end, Kuroko really is the best \u2013 she\u2019s cool, charmingly mischievous, and even a great cook. She\u2019s wonderful.\u201d Takashi said.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe are currently right in the middle of voice recording, and the performances of Kuroko and Hinako are so engaging that they often surpass what we had envisioned in the visuals,\u201d Matsuo added. \u201cOn the visual side, with the support of our many talented animators, we are striving to capture the stylish crime-action spirit of the original work, while pushing the erotic and grotesque elements right up to the limits of broadcast standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMurci\u00e9lago\u201d marks the second collaboration between Takashi and Matsuo and their two studios following the recent \u201c\u00dcbel Blatt\u201d adaptation.<\/p>\n
