The main character visuals for the TV anime "Yomi no Tsugai," based on the latest work by Hiromu Arakawa, known for popular manga such as "Fullmetal Alchemist," have been released. The visuals depict a diverse cast of characters, including the protagonist Yuru and his "mate" Sayu, his twin sister Asa, Dela and Hana's "mates" Kotetsu and Jiro, Gab-chan's "mate" Gabriel, and Ging's "mate" Ai and Makoto.
The preview images for the first episode have also been released, featuring Yuru, Asa with her sharp gaze, the calm-looking traveling merchant Della, and Gab-chan with her innocent smile. There is also a thought-provoking scene with blood dripping from a jade-like motif.
"Yomi no Tsugai" is the story of Yuru and Asa, twins born as "night and day separated." It has been serialized in "Monthly Shonen Gangan" (Square Enix) since December 2021, and the comic series has sold over 5 million copies in total.
The TV anime will be produced by Square Enix, Aniplex, and Bones, the same companies that produced the "Fullmetal Alchemist" anime series that aired and was released from 2003 to 2011. Masahiro Ando, known for "Sword of the Stranger" and "Blast of Tempest," will serve as director. Kensho Ono will voice the protagonist, Yul, and other cast members include Yume Miyamoto Miyamoto as Asa, Yuichi Nakamura as Dela, and Misaki Kuno as Gab-chan. It will air from 11:30 PM on April 4th on TOKYO MX, BS11, and other channels.
