White Fox to Adapt How I Became King by Eating Monsters in 2027
White Fox is attaching itself to a Daken property that already has a Cross Infinite World English release and a Karin Suzuragi manga adaptation running in Young Animal Zero, so the 2027 series arrives with both source and adaptation markets already established.

White Fox announced on Friday it is producing a television anime adaptation of Daken's How I Became King by Eating Monsters light novel series, set to debut in 2027. Original novel illustrator Shiba and manga artist Karin Suzuragi both drew illustrations for the announcement. Cross Infinite World is releasing the novels in English and published the sixth volume digitally on September 30.
White Fox confirmed the project on Friday, with a 2027 broadcast window. Shiba, who illustrates the novels, and Karin Suzuragi, who draws the manga adaptation, each contributed announcement artwork.
The novels began on the Shosetsuka ni Naro website in January 2022. Micro Magazine's GCN Bunko label started print publication in September 2023, with the seventh volume due October 20. Suzuragi's manga adaptation launched in Hakusensha's Young Animal Zero in January 2024, and the third compiled volume is scheduled for October 29.
