The anime will be directed by Tetsuya Takeuchi (From Bureaucrat to Villainess: Dad’s Been Reincarnated!, Yuri Seijin Naoko-san), with character designs handled by Keigo Sasaki (Seven Deadly Sins). Taihi Kimura will voice the main character Chihiro Rokuhira.
Written and illustrated by Takeru Hokazono, Kagurabachi has been serialised in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since September 2023.
