Kodansha's Afternoon magazine streamed an animated promotional video on Wednesday for the debut of the first compiled volume of Gyakusatsu Kigen, the new manga by Shiwasu Hoshikawa and Yuichiro Momose. The volume shipped on Thursday. Soma Saito narrates the video, with Takehiro Kubota storyboarding. The manga launched in Afternoon on May 25 and follows high schooler Rakki after a delinquent called "A" rescues him from a classmate fight.
The video credits Kubota, who storyboarded My Happy Marriage, as storyboarder, with Atsushi Ikariya and Keita Shimizu as key animators. Masakazu Miyake and Taichi Maezuka drew the backgrounds, Tetsuya Tatamitani edited and handled compositing photography, Yashikin composed the music, and Ippei Tomari is credited for sound effects and casting.
The story runs through a Japan filled with daily news of brutal crimes. Rakki is pulled out of a fight with a classmate by a delinquent known as "A," and then two killers called "K" and "D" appear. Hoshikawa and Momose launched the manga in Afternoon on May 25.
