The TV anime Teogonia premiered on TOKYO MX and other networks in April 2025, with Asahi Production in charge of animation. To mark the occasion, the author shared a special comment, accompanied by a congratulatory message and celebratory illustration from Koichiro Kawano, the original light novel illustrator and character designer for the anime.
Comment from Tsukasa Tanimai:
The words I carefully typed out on my keyboard have been transformed into illustrations, a comic, and now, an anime that moves and speaks. This feels like an incredible stroke of luck, akin to a tale of fortune beyond imagination. To everyone involved in bringing this project to life, I extend my deepest gratitude. And to the readers who have supported the series, I offer my heartfelt thanks. Please look forward to the Teogonia anime! I am confident it will become a truly outstanding adaptation thanks to the efforts of an exceptional team.
Comment from Koichiro Kawano:
Thanks to everyone’s support, the anime adaptation has become a reality—thank you so much! I feel incredibly fortunate to have illustrated the novel and now to contribute to the anime’s character design. Please enjoy watching Kai and the others come to life on screen! If you haven’t read the novel or comic yet, I’d be thrilled if this inspires you to give them a try!

J-novel club describes the novel as follows:
In the harsh region known as the borderlands, humans must fight an endless battle against demi-human creatures that come at them relentlessly, intent on taking their land and their gods. A young boy named Kai, fighting to defend his village, sustains a life-threatening injury that causes him to regain memories from a past life. If you’re not a guardian bearer, it’s like you’re playing life on hard mode… Kai’s newfound knowledge gives him a new sense of the unfair “rule set” that governs the world around him. One thing is clear: For those without a god to serve as their guardian, life is a constant struggle for survival. Thus begins the epic tale of a young boy’s ascent into a vast world filled with magic, bloodshed, and mystery.
