A new illustration by original manga creator Tsuyoshi Takaki was also released at AnimeJapan 2026, showcasing both Amagi and Koga.
Kei Umabiki (Quality Assurance in Another World) is directing the anime series, with Go Suzuki (Sword Art Online: Alicization co-character designer) as character designer, Kigaemon Ichikawa (Bogus Skill <<Fruitmaster>> ~About that time I became able to eat unlimited numbers of Skill Fruits (that kill you~)) as series composer and scriptwriter, and Yutaka Yamada (Vinland Saga) as music composer. 100studio is handling the animation production.
Takaki’s sci-fi supernatural action manga series was serialized in Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine from December 31, 2016, to March 2, 2018. It then moved to the Shonen Jump+ website on April 11, 2018, where it continued for four more chapters until its conclusion later that July. Five total tankobon volumes were published in Japan.
Crunchyroll will stream the anime series in North America, Central America, South America, Europe, Africa, Oceania, the Middle East, and CIS.
VIZ Media licensed the BLACK TORCH anime and manga series, describing the manga’s first volume as:
Although he may appear rough-and-tumble, Jiro Azuma’s compassionate side emerges when it comes to the furry critters he can communicate with. But Jiro’s soft spot for animals gets him in major trouble when a suspicious stray cat fuses with him, granting him exceptional power but also dragging him into humanity’s hidden battle against powerful Japanese spirits, mononoke.
