The manga series "Hyakki Yagyō" by Ima Ichiko is being adapted into a short anime. The story revolves around Ritsu Iijima, a protagonist with strong supernatural perception, and his encounters with various beings from Japanese folklore.
The manga is serialized in the magazine Nemuki+ and has already been adapted into stage plays and a live-action series. For the short anime, an adaptation of the episode "Mekakushi Oni" from the first volume is planned. The production involves digitizing and coloring the original drawings. Subsequently, they will be enhanced with movement, dialogue, and sound effects to faithfully reproduce the distinctive drawing style of the original.
Further information will be announced via the official social media channel of Nemuki+. The 32nd and currently latest volume of the series is scheduled for release on April 7.
