Tsugumi Project: Anime Premieres January 2027 with New Visual
The new illustration shows Léon, Tsugumi, Doudou and Tora among the overgrown ruins of what was once Japan.
The TV anime Tsugumi Project will premiere on Japanese television in January 2027. On November 12, the production team released a new key visual showing the four central characters among the ruins of what was once Japan. An exact broadcast date has not yet been announced.
New Visual Shows the World After the Collapse
The artwork shows Léon and Tsugumi together with Doudou and the giant creature Tora. Overgrown high-rise buildings rise up in the background. The official announcement places the series' setting at the center: a distant future in which the former Japan has long been uninhabited by humans due to high radiation and unusual creatures.
The series adapts the manga of the same name by ippatu. The source material was originally published by Ki-oon and is also listed on the official anime website as having been serialized in Kodansha's Japanese Young Magazine. At its heart is a dangerous quest that is meant to allow Léon to return to his family.
Three Main Characters and Their Voice Actors
Léon is a former soldier who was wrongfully sentenced to death. To be pardoned, he must track down a secret weapon in the ruins. There he meets Tsugumi, a girl with birdlike legs and extraordinary fighting abilities. She travels with the creature Tora. Doudou has likewise been sentenced to death and is rescued from a predicament by Léon.
The official character profiles confirm Masaaki Mizunaka as the voice of Léon, Misaki Watada as Tsugumi and Haruki Ishiya as Doudou. All three characters also appear in the new key visual.
Broadcast in January 2027
With the January date, the premiere month is now confirmed. The new announcement does not specify a concrete day, an episode count or a streaming availability for Germany. An official teaser PV released in July already offers a first impression of the adaptation.
This video will only connect to YouTube once you play it.
For January 2027, Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara and the third season of Shangri-La Frontier have also been announced. Unlike these projects, which already have more specific dates, the exact broadcast day for Tsugumi Project is still pending.
