The official website for the TV anime of ippatu's Tsugumi Project manga has revealed a new visual and a January 2027 premiere. The post-apocalyptic monster-hunting series has been in anime development since its first teaser trailer, and the website now puts a release window on it.
The anime has three announced cast members. The series follows a soldier named Leon, who, in the description from Kodansha USA Publishing, is taken from his family on a trumped-up charge. He is then sent on a suicide mission to recover a weapon called Tsugumi from a place once known as Japan, which is now ruled by monsters.
Publication history
The manga reached readers outside Japan early. Ki-oon began releasing it in France in 2019, before the Japanese serialization had started. Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine then began running the manga in January 2021.
The serialization ended in September 2023, and the series closed with an epilogue chapter. Kodansha published the seventh and final volume in Japan in November 2023, so the whole story ran to seven volumes.
English-language readers received the conclusion later. Kodansha USA Publishing released the final volume in September 2025, which completed the English edition of the series. The anime's premiere window of January 2027 follows that release.
