HIDIVE to Co-Produce Petals of Reincarnation Anime
posted on by Anita Tai
HIDIVE announced on Monday that it will co-produce the television anime adaptation of Mikihisa Konishi's Petals of Reincarnation (Reincarnation no Kaben) manga.
The manga's story centers on Tōya Senji, a high school boy who, despite excelling academically, sees himself as average due to constantly comparing himself to his overachieving older brother. He desires to excel in something and become special. He encounters a long-absent classmate named Haito La Buffet, who he deems as someone exceptionally talented. He learns from her that she used a "branch of reincarnation" to claim talent from her "past life," where she was the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, effectively becoming a "Returner," a person reincarnated with their past life talent. Tōya also learns from Haito that there are other Returners, who have more ambitious plans with their talents.
Mag Garden announced the anime adaptation in August 2024 as part of the series' 10th anniversary celebration.
Konishi launched the manga in Mag Garden's Comic Blade magazine in May 2014, but transferred to the magazine's online website in September 2014 due to the magazine ceasing publication. Mag Garden shipped the 21st compiled book volume on February 10.
Update: Removed background info about MBS.
