A press
release from LEED Publishing reported that Rocket Shokai and Nakashima723 's
manga " Scum of the Brave ( Yuusha no Kuzu )"
is getting an anime adaptation. The release didn't list production details or a
scheduled premiere date, but did indicate that OLM Studios
will be in charge of the animation.
The
statement also included a message from the authors:
- Nakashima723's comment: " I've been
drawing this manga with the hope that everyone, even to the ends of the
galaxy, would know about Yashiro and Shirogamine. To all the readers, and
also to all the "production committee scum," thank you so much
for finding Yuusha no Kuzu! "
- Rocket Shokai's comment: " As a ramen
lover, I will express this joy through a ramen metaphor. The passion of
the team members involved in this project and the excellence of their work
evoke the harmony of a clear yet umami-filled clam broth, combined with
thin noodles that, although delicate, possess an unmatched firmness. I
can't help but feel a great deal of anticipation. All of this has been
possible thanks to the support of readers, so I look forward to the day we
can savor this work together ."
Rocket
Shokai began
publishing the story through the independent service Kakuyomu in
February 2016. The manga adaptation began in 2018 through LEED
Publishing 's Comic Border service . The author also
wrote the light novels " Sentenced to Be a Hero: The Prison
Records of Penal Hero Unit 9004 ", which will have an anime
adaptation this year.
Synopsis
of Scum of the Brave
In an
alternate 21st century, wealthy members of the mafia can become "Demon
Kings" thanks to ether enhancement surgery, a procedure that has become
increasingly popular. To counter them, there are the "Braves," bounty
hunters tasked with hunting them down.
Yashiro
just wants to enjoy life's simple pleasures: pizza, beer, and card games.
However, when three young Braves offer him an exorbitant sum to be their
private tutor, he accepts solely for the money. But is what he's about to face
really worth it?
