Aniplex of America announced on Wednesday that it has licensed the upcoming anime series ERASED (Boku dake ga Inai Machi, or "The town where only I am missing"). The series will premiere streaming on Crunchyroll on January 7, 2016 at 12:30 p.m. EST, the same day it will debut in Japan on Fuji TV's Noitamina block.

The cast includes:

Tomohiko Ito (Sword Art Online, Silver Spoon) is directing the series and Taku Kishimoto (Silver Spoon, Haikyu!!) is handling series composition at A-1 Pictures.

The manga's story follows Satoru, a struggling manga artist who has an ability that forces him back in time to prevent deaths. When his mother is killed he's sent back in time to solve the mystery, but ends up back in elementary school, just before the disappearance of his classmate Kayo.

Sanbe began the manga in 2012 and it is currently serialized in Kadokawa's Young Ace magazine. The manga was nominated for the Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize 'Reader Award' in 2014 and this year's Manga Taisho Awards.

A live-action film adaptation starring Tatsuya Fujiwara and Kasumi Arimura will open on March 19, 2016.
