The setup
Thirteen years after a plague killed 90% of humanity — who then got back up as zombies — Aki, Haru and Natsuki travel to find Aki's missing father. A three-volume manga is a tight source for a cour, which usually means either a faithful full adaptation or an anime-original ending; nothing announced says which.
Who's making it
Studio Comet, with Shin'ya Une directing and Kyohei Suzuki assisting. Scripts come from Kenichi Yamashita and Aki Itami, character designs from Narumi Shimoji, music from Kenta Higashiohji.
The cast: Miyari Nemoto as Aki, Lynn as Natsuki, Toshiya Miyata as Haru, Hibiku Yamamura as Yu, Yuka Nukui as Sakura, Yoko Hikasa as Mikazuki, Makoto Koichi as Toka, Tomoyo Takayanagi as Takamo, Aino Shimada as Saigo, and Kosuke Toriumi as Aki's father.
Broadcast
Late-night Saturday on TV Asahi is a modest slot, and ABEMA plus d Anime Store is a Japan-first streaming setup — no Western platform has been announced. It has no SenpaiRanks score yet; new entries stay unrated until enough anime watchers vote, which is deliberate.
October is crowded. The fall 2026 premiere calendar has the full date list, and what to watch this fall plus the best fall 2026 board are where this will land once it airs. Competing for the same slot: Reborn as a Goblin on October 5, The Vermilion Mask on October 10 and Hotel Inhumans season 2 on October 4.
Watching it in October? Rate it on the show page — early votes are what pull a new title onto the board at all.
