Sword of the Demon Hunter Anime Reveals Format, 2024 Premiere
An anime adaptation was announced for Moto’o Nakanishi’s Sword of the Demon Hunter Kijin Gentosho novel series back in September 2021, and now we know what the format will be. The anime will be a TV anime series, and it’s currently penciled in for a premiere sometime in 2024.
The news came along with the publication of the 14th and final volume of the novel series, which started with the Suiho no Hibi (Days of Nothing) volume back in June 2019.
Seven Seas Entertainment publishes both the original novels and the manga adaptation, describing the story as such:
In the Edo era, young Jinta and his sister must flee their home, finding refuge in a mountain village. Years later, Jinta has grown into a skilled swordsman, sworn to protect the priestess of the village shrine. Charged with slaying a demon that threatens the shrine, Jinta confronts the malevolent creature in the forest, only to learn a shocking truth. The demon speaks of events one hundred and seventy years hence, when Jinta must confront the demon in the future. Thus begins an epic fantasy journey that spans multiple eras as Jinta hunts a demon through time and must come to terms with his own dark nature.
