Petals of Reincarnation TV Anime Broadcasts in 2026
The highly anticipated television anime adaptation of Petals of Reincarnation, the supernatural action manga by Mikihisa Konishi, is officially set to broadcast in Japan in 2026. The announcement was made via the release of a new trailer and key visual on the anime’s official website, accompanied by the reveal of the core voice cast and main production staff.

Overview of Petals of Reincarnation
Petals of Reincarnation is adapted from the manga of the same name, originally serialized in Mag Comi, a digital manga magazine published by Mag Garden.

An English-language version of the manga is officially published by Mangomo.
The story revolves around Toya Senji, a boy burdened by his lack of talent despite endless effort. His world is turned upside down when he encounters Haito Luo Buffett, a skilled Kendo champion who harbors a secret — she’s a reincarnated warrior capable of drawing on the skills of her past lives. This power, however, comes at a steep price: it only activates when she slits her own throat. Haito sees potential in Toya and invites him to become part of her mission to protect humanity using the power of reincarnation.
