Tsugumi Project, the gritty sci-fi manga by creator ippatu, is officially set to receive a television anime adaptation. The announcement arrived via a dedicated teaser website, which accompanied the release of a promotional video and key visual showcasing the series' desolate, high-stakes atmosphere.
The narrative centers on Leon, a soldier framed for a crime and forced into a lethal retrieval mission. His objective is to recover a mysterious weapon known as "Tsugumi" from a territory that was once Japan, now a wasteland overrun by massive, irradiated mutations. With his survival odds already slim, the mission forces him to navigate a landscape that has been cut off from the rest of the world for two centuries.
Originally serialized in Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine starting in 2021, the manga concluded its run in September 2023. The series spans seven compiled volumes, all of which are now available through Kodansha USA Publishing. The upcoming anime project is backed by the production committee responsible for bringing ippatu’s vision of a ruined Japan to the screen.
