The manga template "Elexeed" by SJH will be animated as a TV series in 2026. A first key visual and a preparatory video have already been released.
The story takes place in a world where people with special abilities, called "Awakened," operate in secret. The kind-hearted Yuu Kazehaya, who always hid his own powers, encounters the severely wounded Kaido. This most powerful of all Awakened disguises himself as a stray cat. After Yuu takes him in, fate takes its course. Yuu gets drawn into battles with other Awakened and the schemes of their organizations. In the process, he develops a close bond with Kaido and grows through the challenges.
The adaptation is handled by Dandelion Animation Studio, known among others for "The First Slam Dunk." The direction is by Hiroshi Nishikiori ("Idolish Seven: The Movie"). Series composition is led by Yōsuke Kuroda ("My Hero Academia"), while Minami Sakura ("Gridman Universe") is in charge of character design.
SJH, the original author, expressed delight at the announcement of the anime series. The illustrator ZHENA contributed a congratulatory illustration that conveys his excitement for the project.
As part of "Anime Expo 2025" in Los Angeles on July 6, Kazuhiro Nishikawa, CEO of Dandelion Animation Studio, will provide insights into the production of "Elexeed."
