Just under a month before the start of the TV anime adaptation of Hiroshi Shiibashi's manga "Iwatomo Senpai no Suisen," the production team has released a new key visual and the third promotional trailer. The series will air from July 4, 2026, on TOKYO MX and Sun TV, followed by BS Fuji from July 7. Simultaneously, an early stream will begin on July 4 at 11:00 PM on platforms such as d Anime Store, AnimeTimes, and Lemino; other services will follow from July 7.
The key visual shows the six main characters—Iwamoto, Harumachi, Amaha, Sazame, Okuaki, and Tachibana—against red dancing petals, with each character wearing expressions marked by inner conflicts. The third trailer, accompanied by the opening theme "BUDDING" by the ten-member idol group THE JET BOY BANGERZ, presents action-packed confrontations between the characters' supernatural abilities and also hints at new antagonists.
The story is set in Japan in the 1910s. Middle school student Iwamoto Kodō attends the army-affiliated Seihō Middle School and is tasked with investigating supernatural phenomena across the country. He must identify individuals with militarily useful abilities and issue them a "recommendation" for the school. Along the way, he encounters various ghostly apparitions and the backgrounds of so-called "ability users." The series is described as a "romantic saga" that blends mysticism and human relationships in a historical setting.
The manga by Shiibashi (known for "Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan") first appeared as a one-shot on "Shōnen Jump+" on March 30, 2020, and has been serialized in the magazine "Ultra Jump" since March 2021. Studio Deen is responsible for the anime adaptation, with direction by Toshifumi Kawase. Series composition is handled by Keiichirō Ōchi, character design by Atsuko Nakajima, and music by Yoshiaki Dewa and Tōru Ishitsuka. The ending theme "Koko ni Iru" is contributed by WOLF HOWL HARMONY.
The voice cast includes Taito Ban as Iwamoto Kodō, Yuki Sakakihara as Kai Haramachi, Kento Ito as Sōichirō Amaha, Akira Ishida as Tōi Tachibana, Masaya Fukunishi as Yūji Okuaki, Takuma Nagatsuka as Shizuma Aonuma, Gen Sato as Ryū Sazame, and Shinnosuke Tokudome as Mizuhi Awadama.
