Bones, the studio behind Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and My Hero Academia, is set to adapt Hiromu Arakawa's manga Yomi no Tsugai for an anime television series slated for Spring 2026. The announcement comes as a significant development for fans of Arakawa's work following her acclaimed Fullmetal Alchemist and Silver Spoon series.
Yomi no Tsugai centers on twin siblings, Yuru and Asa, born under opposing celestial signs and destined for different paths. Yuru lives as a hunter in an isolated village, while his sister Asa is confined, tasked with a mysterious duty. Their secluded lives are shattered when armed intruders, known as "dragons," attack their village specifically seeking Yuru, leading to a violent confrontation.
The series promises a blend of action, adventure, and fantasy, targeting a shonen demographic. With Bones at the helm, known for its high-quality action sequences and character-driven narratives, expectations are high for a faithful and dynamic adaptation of the original manga.
