What Is Tougen Anki?

As for what to expect from the new Tougen Anki anime, REMOW teases the series as such, “‘You inherit the blood of an Oni (demon)…’The bloodlines of ‘Oni’ and ‘Momotaro’ have been passed down among certain humans for generations. Long ago, the Oni, aware of their own ferocity, lived in seclusion. However, their peace was shattered by an invasion led by Momotaro. Over thousands of years, these two factions formed the ‘Momotaro Agency’ and the ‘Oni Agency,’ respectively, and have been locked in conflict ever since.”

The synopsis continues with, “The protagonist, Shiki Ichinose, suddenly learns of his Oni lineage following an unexpected attack by Momotaro. This revelation sets Shiki on a path to discover the destiny that lies within his blood — a meeting with the Oni dwelling within him. — A new generation of dark heroics begins here in this tale of demons!”

As for the original manga release, fans can get started as Yen Press has licensed Yura Urushibara’s Tougen Anki: Dark Demon of Paradise for an English language release and the first volume is now available on shelves as of last year. There’s plenty of time to catch up before the new anime hits and finds a whole new audience.
