Tsugumi Project Manga Gets TV Anime Adaptation
Ippatu's post-apocalyptic manga Tsugumi Project is being adapted into a television anime, as announced on July 14, 2026. A teaser website, promotional video, and visual were released alongside the announcement. The series, originally titled Toratsugumi in Japan, follows a soldier named Leon who is falsely imprisoned and sent on a suicide mission to recover a dangerous weapon called Tsugumi from a radiation-ravaged Japan overrun by mutated monsters. The manga debuted in France in 2019 through Ki-oon, where it became a hit, before being serialized in Japan in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine starting in January 2021. It concluded in September 2023 with a total of seven compiled volumes, the last of which was published in Japan in November 2023 and in English by Kodansha USA in September 2025. Creator ippatu expressed surprise and gratitude in a comment released with the announcement. To commemorate the adaptation, two volumes of the manga are available for free on YanMaga Web from July 14 to July 20.
