The announcement was made via the anime’s official channels, confirming that the transition from the current Kyoto Arc to the next storyline is only weeks away.

The Nerima Arc is expected to deepen the series’ narrative, shifting the setting from Kyoto to Nerima, Tokyo.

The announcement was accompanied by a new promotional video, which quickly spread across social media platforms, drawing over 10,000 views on Twitter (X) within hours of release. Fans worldwide expressed excitement, noting the series’ growing popularity both in Japan and abroad, where streaming platforms are helping expand its global reach.
Based on a manga serialized in Weekly Shōnen Champion since 2020, Tougen Anki has been steadily climbing in readership. Industry watchers point out that the anime adaptation is likely to boost sales of the manga volumes while further cementing its reputation as a rising star in the shōnen dark fantasy genre.
With the Nerima Arc premiering on October 3, Tougen Anki continues its momentum into the fall 2025 anime season, positioning itself as one of the standout titles to watch.
