The official website for the television anime adaptation of Shinichi Okada and Hiroto Ōishi's Dorei-ku: Boku to 23-nin no Dorei (Slave District: 23 Slaves and Me) manga revealed an anime visual with the main staff on Saturday. Ryōichi Kuraya (Tsugumomo) is directing and handling series composition at Zero-G and TNK. Junji Gotō (School Days, High School DxD) is designing the characters and serving as chief animation director.

The anime will premiere in April 2018.

The story is a survival game between 24 people who each have a device called an SCM (slave control method), which can make their opponent into their slave. Each person has their own reason for participating in the game.

The manga is an adaptation of Okada's Boku to 23-nin no Dorei novels, which initially serialized on the novel submission site Everystar. Futabasha published three volumes for the main series, as well as the Doreiku 2nd Shinjuku Kikō Kai sequel and the Dorei-ku: Boku to 23-nin no Dorei.ex side story. Okada and Ōishi are publishing a new sequel titled Dai Doreiku: Kimi to 1-Oku 3-Senban no Dorei, and the second compiled book volume will ship on Tuesday. The Doreiku series' physical and digital volumes have a total of more than 3.2 million copies in circulation.

Ōishi launched the manga adaptation on Everystar in 2012, and Futabasha published the full series in 10 compiled volumes.

A live-action film adaptation starring Sayaka Akimoto and Kanata Hongō opened in Japan in June 2014.
