One-hour premiere plans and new key visuals are revealed in Sword of the Demon Hunter.
Along with the announcement of a one-hour debut on June 27, the previously announced anime adaptation of Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho unveiled a new key visual. The anime is being animated by Yokohama Animation Lab.
The Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentosho cast in the role of Jinta is led by Taku Yashiro. Reina Ueda as Suzune and Saori Hayami as Shirayuki will accompany him.
The light book, written by Moto'o Nakanishi and drawn by Tamaki, will be adapted for anime. The novel was first made available between December 2015 and October 2016 on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website. The title was purchased by Futabasha, who serialised it from June 2019 to November 2023. The identical printer is also serializing a manga adaptation with illustrations from Yu Satomi.
The manga and light novel have both been licenced by Seven Seas Entertainment. The publisher explains the storyline as follows:
For generations, a shrine has stood in the mountain village of Kadono, and for each generation the shrine has had an Itsukihime—its shrine maiden—and the maiden has had her guardian. During the Edo period, a young man named Jinta protects the town and the Itsukihime. When he confronts a strange demon in the nearby forest, it tells him that in the distant future a Demon God will threaten all people, everywhere, and it claims that the the Demon God’s rise to power springs from this very time and place, in the village of Kadono. So begins the centuries-spanning journey of a man tainted by demons, hunting through time to seek justice for what he’s lost, and to find a reason to keep on fighting.
