Hiromu Arakawa has two manga running as anime: Daemons of the Shadow Realm, which finished its first 24-episode season and was renewed for a second, and Yomi no Tsugai, whose second cour airs from July 4. Amasian TV added the second and third seasons of the Hyakusho Kizoku anime to its free catalog.
Hiromu Arakawa's current anime footprint rests on two manga, plus a smaller autobiographical one. Daemons of the Shadow Realm, the television adaptation of her Monthly Shonen Gangan manga launched in December 2021, aired a first season of two consecutive cours and 24 episodes and was renewed for a second season after the finale. The manga had 12 compiled volumes as of March 2026 and over three million copies in circulation. Bones Film animated it, with Masahiro Ando directing, Noboru Takagi on series scripts, Nobuhiro Arai on character designs and chief animation duties, and Kenichiro Suehiro composing. The series ran on Tokyo MX, BS11, Gunma TV, and Tochigi TV, with Crunchyroll streaming and a same-day English dub.
Coverage of the first season tracked its cast as new characters arrived. Kappei Yamaguchi and Yoshiko Sakakibara joined for the seventh episode as Hikaru Kagemori and Kai. Shinichiro Miki was cast as the daemon user Ivan Yosano, who debuted in episode 6. The review of episode 17 noted that Akio, a member of Jin's squad, wanted Yuru dead, a setup laid in episode 4, and that Gabby tries to kill Akio after he threatens the Kagemori compound. Kensho Ono voices Yuru and Yume Miyamoto voices Asa, with Yuichi Nakamura, Misaki Kuno, Takako Honda, Rikiya Koyama, and Miyuri Shimabukuro also in the cast.
Yomi no Tsugai, the other adaptation, heads into its second cour from July 4 with a new key visual and main promo video. The cour's opening theme is "back shot" by Masanori Onda, and the ending theme is "Kujaku" by Kei Sugawara. The reveal centers on the escalating conflict between Sayo-sama and Ivan and introduces a new character.
On the catalog side, Amasian TV confirmed it now streams the second and third seasons of the Hyakusho Kizoku anime with English subtitles and Japanese audio in the United States, free and on demand without a subscription. The series adapts Arakawa's autobiographical manga about her seven years farming in Hokkaido before she became a manga creator. The first season remains on RetroCrush.
