Kadokawa announced on Friday that Katsuwo's #Zombie Sagashitemasu (#I'm Looking For Zombie) manga is getting a television anime that will debut in 2026. Katsuwo drew an illustration to celebrate the announcement.
The "zombie x youth comedy" manga is set in a world where 90 percent of humans on Earth have contracted and died from a deadly, virulent disease; only to then rise again as zombies who attack people. 13 years after that "Red Day" of societal and civilizational collapse, the surviving humans live away from the big cities, while still hoping to retake them someday. An entirely new generation of people who know nothing of the pre-Red Day world are now coming into their own. The story begins when Aki and her close friends Haru and Natsuki begin a journey to find Aki's missing father.
Katsuwo launched the manga in Kadokawa's Comic Dengeki DaiohG magazine in June 2022. Kadokawa published the third and final volume in January 2024.
Katsuwo's Mitsuboshi Colors manga inspired the television anime of the same name, which premiered in January 2018. Sentai Filmworks streamed the anime as it aired in Japan.
Katsuwo launched the Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu (Solitary "__" Life, or Hitori Bocchi's "__" Life) manga in the inaugural issue Comic Dengeki DaiohG in September 2013, and ended it in April 2021. Kadokawa published the manga's eighth and final volume in June 2021. The manga inspired a television anime adaptation in April 2019. Crunchyroll streamed the anime.
