It may have appeared that Black Torch, once a series published by Shueisha’s Jump Square magazine in 2016, had been abandoned by Shonen Jump. However, years later, it’s making a comeback with its own anime adaptation. Despite its unique history, Black Torch didn’t have a large fanbase when it ended in 2018 due to having only a few chapters published on Shueisha’s Shonen Jump+ app.
The iconic series “Black Torch” is on the verge of a fresh start, as it has been confirmed (after a seven-year hiatus) that an anime adaptation is in the works. Viz Media unveiled this exciting news at Emerald City Comic Con, and you can watch the announcement trailer for the upcoming series in the video above. Additionally, a sneak peek of the poster for the debut of the “Black Torch” anime can be found below.
What to Know for Black Torch’s Anime Debut
Under Kei Umabiki’s direction and animation production at 100studio, the upcoming anime “Black Torch” will boast Gigaemon Ichikawa as the series composer and scriptwriter, Gou Suzuki providing the character designs, and Yutaka Yamada responsible for the music. At the time of this writing, an official release date or window has not been disclosed, but Viz Media’s initial announcement suggests it will be available in six different subtitled languages worldwide. This indicates a broad launch scope when it debuts.
The creator of the “Black Torch” series, Tsuyoshi Takaki, expressed his excitement and surprise regarding the anime adaptation announcement. He acknowledged that he couldn’t be happier than anyone else due to the love shown towards the manga by fans both in Japan and internationally. In terms of production, he has been overseeing the settings and storyboards, and he feels it has been transformed into something even more exceptional while remaining faithful to the original narrative. A fresh “Black Torch” is now alive, adorned with voices, sounds, motion, and color. The new series will feature battles, cats, and thighs! We hope you’ll enjoy it!
What Is Black Torch About?
The “Black Torch” series, which is a compact part of the expansive Shonen Jump universe, appears to be a labor of love given its revival after many years. Since it’s a finished storyline, viewers can expect a powerful but brief anime experience. However, if the hints dropped by the creator lead to new developments and potentially a fresh series, the run could extend beyond expectations. Interested readers can access all 19 chapters of “Black Torch” through Viz Media’s Shonen Jump digital service.
Apart from the five-book series being readily available on shelves now, Viz Media gives us a sneak peek into the upcoming adventures of Black Torch. As they put it, “Despite his rugged exterior, Jiro Azuma’s gentle heart is particularly evident towards the animal beings he can converse with. However, his affection for creatures leads him into deep trouble when a mysterious stray cat merges with him, bestowing upon him extraordinary abilities but also pulling him into humanity’s covert struggle against potent Japanese spirits, known as mononoke.
