The TV adaptation of the manga "Hanaori-san wa Tensei shite mo Kenka ga Shitai" by Hekiru Hikawa will premiere on Japanese television on July 11, 2026. Shortly before the broadcast, in late June, a first livestream with the voice actors is planned, during which new revelations about the series are expected.
"Hanaori-san" (roughly: "Even After Reincarnation, Hanaori Still Wants to Fight") is a romantic comedy about the insatiable Ryusei Narukami, who was a powerful demon king in his past life and now lives as a shut-in in the real world. One day, high school student Meteor Hanaori shows up in his apartment—the reincarnation of the heroine who once defeated him. The dynamic between the reclusive ex-demon king and the lively ex-heroine leads to turbulent entanglements.
The series is being produced at Studio Liden Films under the direction of Hideyo Yamamoto. The series composition is handled by Yukie Sugawara, character design by Yousuke Okuda, and the music is composed by Yukari Hashimoto and R・O・N. Alongside the main cast members Jun Fukuyama (Ryusei Narukami) and Akira Sekine (Meteor Hanaori), the ensemble includes: Seina Hoshiki, Hitomi Ueda, Sora Tokui, Nene Hieda, Rie Takahashi, Yumi Igai, Ayasa Ito, and Yoko Hikasa.
The livestream is scheduled to take place in June; more specific details on the date and time will be announced at a later date. During the broadcast, the voice actors are expected to appear, chatting not only about their roles but also revealing new information about the series.
The original manga has been serialized in Kodansha's online magazine Morning Two since August 2021. So far, nine compiled volumes have been released, with the latest in March 2026. An English-language omnibus edition will be published by Seven Seas Entertainment starting in October 2026. The streaming service Crunchyroll has acquired the rights for the international broadcast of the anime series.
Additional pre-release events, such as a preview of the first episode with a cast talk, have also been announced. Fans can look forward to an entertaining summer with one of the most unusual love pairs in the current anime landscape.
