Etorouji Shiono's Fantasy Manga Übel Blatt Gets TV Anime Adaptation

A TV anime adaptation of Etorouji Shiono's fantasy manga Übel Blatt is confirmed to be in the works. The TV anime's official website and Twitter account has opened today. The manga ran in Square Enix's four magazines — Gangan YG, Young Gangan, Young Gangan Big Extra, and Monthly Big Gangan — from 2004 to 2019, then compiled in 24 tankobon volumes (including volume 0). Its sequel series Übel Blatt II: Shiseru Ou no Kishidan ( The Knights of the Dead King ) began serialization in the third issue of Monthly Big Gangan released in Japan today on February 24. Yen Press, which has published the manga's English edition since October 2014, describes the synopsis: Rumors stir throughout the land: when the wielder of the black sword draws his dark blade, all who stand in its path are torn asunder...! Köinzell, the mysterious young boy who carries the black sword, undeniably wields it with exceptional skill, but can he truly be responsible for the bloody rumors? Pursued by the Traitorous Lances, four powerful warriors who were thought to have been defeated by the Seven Heroes, the strength of the young swordsman will be tested to its limit. At battle's end, only the shocking truth of Köinzell's quest will stand above the corpses of his enemies... The manga author said, "When I heard about the idea of adapting Übel Blatt into an anime, it was a little after the series had finished, so I was frankly surprised, 'From now?' I couldn't imagine Köinzell and the other characters moving and being voiced, so I'm excited to see them, but at the same time, it is a strange feeling that does not yet feel real. Please look forward to it."
