About Tougen Anki

Tougen Anki is a TV anime adapted from the manga by Yuki Urushibara (漆原侑来), serialised in Weekly Shonen Champion (Akita Shoten). It is produced by Studio Hibari, directed by Ato Nonaka, and aired on the Nippon TV “FRIDAY ANIME NIGHT” block from July 2025.

Season 1 is split into two arcs:

Story & Highlights

Ordinary teenager Shiki Ichinose (一ノ瀬四季) is suddenly attacked by a mysterious man belonging to the Momotaro Agency (桃太郎機関) — an organisation dedicated to hunting demons. Fleeing with his foster father, Shiki discovers he carries demon blood. He eventually enrols at Rasetsugakuen (羅刹学園) and is drawn into a millennia-old war between demons and the descendants of Momotaro.

Key highlights include Shiki’s awakening of the demon-god power Enki (炎鬼) during the Kyoto Arc, and the life-or-death battles the Rasetsugakuen students face when they are ambushed by the Momotaro Agency in the Nerima Arc.
