Following the announcement, Takaki Sensei shared his excitement with fans:
Congratulations on the anime adaptation of BLACK TORCH! I don’t think there’s anyone more excited and surprised than me. This is all thanks to everyone who has loved the manga, both in Japan and overseas. As for the production, I’ve been supervising the settings and storyboards, and I feel it’s been recreated into something even better, while still fully respecting the original story. A new BLACK TORCH has been brought to life, now with voices, sounds, movement and color. There are battles, cats, and thighs! We hope you enjoy it!
BLACK TORCH, created by Tsuyoshi Takaki, was first serialized in Shueisha’s Jump Square and Shonen Jump+ from 2017 to 2018. VIZ Media describes the story as follows:
Although he may appear rough-and-tumble, Jiro Azuma’s compassionate side emerges when it comes to the furry critters he can communicate with. But Jiro’s soft spot for animals gets him in major trouble when a suspicious stray cat fuses with him, granting him exceptional power but also dragging him into humanity’s hidden battle against powerful Japanese spirits, mononoke.
