The release of Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine revealed that the television anime of Kazuhiro Fujita's Karakuri Circus (Le Cirque de Karakuri) manga will premiere in October. Studio VOLN (Ushio & Tora) is animating the TV anime series for Twin Engine. Satoshi Nishimura (Ushio & Tora, Trigun, Fighting Spirit) is directing the series, and Takahiro Yoshimatsu (2011 Hunter × Hunter, Trigun) is the character designer. Toshiki Inoue (Ushio & Tora, Death Note) and the original manga author Kazuhiro Fujita are handling the series composition. Yuuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia, Haikyu!!) is composing the music. Amazon will stream the anime exclusively in Japan and overseas.
The story revolves around Masaru Saiga, a fifth-grader who wants to become a puppeteer. After the death of Sadayoshi Saiga—the CEO of the massive home telephone manufacturer Saiga and Masaru's father—Masaru inherits 18 billion yen. Masaru is attacked for his wealth and is saved by two people. Narumi Katō is a man who has studied kung fu and has a strange illness called "Zonapha Syndrome," and Shirogane is a silver-haired woman who controls the puppet "Arurukan" (Harlequin). Together, Masaru, Narumi, and Shirogane become entangled in various conspiracies by those trying to steal Masaru's fortune.
