Tougen Anki is now one big step closer to its release later this Summer, and the anime is getting ready for its premiere with a new trailer and poster for the anime. Yura Urushibara first created Tougen Anki: Dark Demon of Paradise for Akita Shoten’s Weekly Shonen Champion magazine in 2020, and has a pretty hefty fanbase behind the manga series already. That’s likely going to change very soon with its official anime adaptation now scheduled to hit later this Summer, and that’s even truer now thanks to the new updates shared as part of the AnimeJapan 2025 event happening this weekend.

What Is Tougen Anki About?
Yura Urushibara’s Tougen Anki: Dark Demon of Paradise has been licensed for an English language release by Yen Press, and the first volume of the series can now be found on shelves. As for what to expect from the new Tougen Anki anime, REMOW begins to tease 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!”
