We’re thrilled to announce the highly anticipated anime adaptation of Petals of Reincarnation as HIDIVE’s newest co-production. Petals of Reincarnation has been beloved by readers for more than a decade, and HIDIVE, together with the entire Production Committee, looks forward to bringing the manga series to life as a supernatural action anime!
Petals of Reincarnation is a supernatural-action series starring high schooler Touya Senji, a boy who views himself as talentless. His world is turned upside down when he meets Haito La Buffet, who uses something known as the Stem of Reincarnation to draw on power and abilities from her past lives. However, to access the Stem of Reincarnation, she needs to effectively kill herself by slitting her own throat. It turns out Haito is a Returner, and Touya soon realizes there are other people like Haito in the world. With 3 million copies sold before the anime has even debuted, the series has strong potential among fans of the supernatural shonen action genre, so keep an eye out for more updates from HIDIVE.
