After being adapted into a live-action film earlier this year, Tomoko Yamashita's boys-love supernatural mystery manga series The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window will finally see its TV anime adaptation air in October 2021 on Tokyo MX and affiliated stations. The main leads were also revealed cast today along with the lead staff being confirmed, and a teaser visual and trailer be released.
The two leads are:
Nobunaga Shimazaki (Haruka Nanase in Free!) as Kosuke Mikado (on the left)
Wataru Hatano (Gajeel Redfox in Fairy Tail) as Rihito Hiyakawa (on the right)
Yoshitaka Yasuda (My Roommate is a Cat animation director) will be directing The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window and drawing the character designs, with Daiji Iwanaga (My Roommate is a Cat episode director) as the Chief Director, and Ayumi Sekine (IDOLiSH7) providing the scripts. The animation is being produced at Zero-G.
Manga creator Tomoko Yamashita drew a celebratory image for the announcement:
The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window ran in Magazine Be × Boy in Japan from March 2013 to December 2020 and has been collected into nine volumes. Viz Media is releasing the manga series digitally in English under its SuBLime label, with the 7th volume releasing on July 27. Viz describes the series as such:
Shy bookstore clerk Kosuke Mikado has the ability to see ghosts and spirits, an ability he wishes he didn't have, since what he sees usually terrifies him. Rihito Hiyakawa, an exorcist whose supernatural powers are as strong as his social graces are weak, doesn't seem to fear anything, mortal or otherwise. When this odd couple gets together to solve the bizarre cases that come their way, their work methods may not be entirely safe for work!
