The official website unveiled a new visual for the television anime of ippatu’s Tsugumi Project (Tora Tsugumi) manga on Thursday. It also confirmed a January 2027 premiere.
The anime’s three announced cast members are:
- Masaaki Mizunaka as Leon
- Haruki Ishiya as Dudu
- Misaki Watada as Tsugumi
Kodansha USA Publishing, which published the manga, describes a far-future story about a soldier named Leon. A fabricated charge tears him away from his family and sends him on a suicide mission to retrieve a dangerous weapon.
His destination was known as Japan 200 years earlier, but enormous, irradiated, mutated monsters now rule it. Leon and his teammates are not expected to survive. Among their few clues is the weapon’s name: Tsugumi.
Japanese artist ippatu drew the manga. French publisher Ki-oon began releasing it in France as an original manga in 2019.
Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine began serializing the manga in Japan in January 2021. It ended in September 2023 and received an epilogue chapter.
Kodansha published the seventh and final compiled volume in November 2023. That volume shipped in France in February 2024, and Kodansha USA Publishing released it in September 2025.
