The series has printed over three million copies in total so far, and its latest 20th tankobon volume is set to release in Japan on August 7, 2024.Mangamo, which has released the manga’s English edition digitally, describes its synopsis:
Toya Senji is talentless. He”s tried everything but he can”t seem to excel at anything no matter how hard he tries. Then he meets Haito, a Kendo champion and… humanity”s protector? She uses the Stem of Reincarnation to draw on the abilities of her past lives, but it only works when she slits her own throat. And now she wants Toya to join her?!
The original manga author Konishi has posted a comment below on the anime’s official website:
An anime adaptation… I was not at all aware of or anticipating it, so I was hit with a peashooter when I heard about it and has spent the days with the peas stuck in me.Anyway, first of all, I would like to thank all the readers who have supported this work so far!
I would also like to thank the people who have worked so hard to make this anime possible, as well as the many others who will be involved in the future!However, the only thing I can do for the anime adaptation is to provide the setting and supplementary materials that are not depicted in the manga, and to answer any questions that are asked. I will entrust the production staff, and will work harder than ever on the serialization, and wait excitedly for the anime version.
The author has also posted a celebratory illustration on the anime’s official X (formerly Twitter).
