On the
official website for the anime adaptation of Shinobu Takayama 's
manga " Haigakura ", it was announced that the
anime will resume broadcasting during Summer 2025 (July-September), but from
the first episode. The announcement included a promotional video and a
special visual to celebrate this announcement.
The show
originally began airing on October 7, 2024, but was suspended before the eighth
episode in November due to the production team reporting they needed more time
to maintain the series' quality. Starting on November 25 of that year, the series began re-airing
all of its episodes to date.
Shinobu
Takayama began
publishing the manga through Ichijinsha's Zero -Sum Ward magazine
in 2008. When the magazine ceased publication in 2015, the manga continued to
be published through the Zero-Sum Online service, eventually
becoming Takayama's longest-running serialization. To date, it has over 16
compiled volumes and over 1.3 million copies in circulation.
Synopsis
of Haigakura
The
balance of the world is profoundly upset when the evil gods known as the Four
Banes break their seals and disappear along with eight million lesser deities.
In the gods' absence, the lands become barren and famine threatens the land of
the Eight Immortals. To restore the fragile harmony, the kashi—gifted dancers
and singers—must hunt down the missing deities in other realms, enchant them
with their artistic skills, and seal them using the power of their rosaries.
Although
an exceptional dancer, Ichiyou is ridiculed by his peers for his lack of
singing talent. Still, the Eight Immortals entrust him with the mission of
retrieving the Four Detriments before the world falls into complete chaos. With
the help of his familiars, Tenkou and Kaka, Ichiyou undertakes the dangerous
task assigned to him, taking him all the way to modern-day Japan. To save the
world, Ichiyou must not only find the missing gods, but also uncover the truth
behind their disappearance—a mystery eerily intertwined with his own past.
