Fight evil with evil - Murci�lago anime coming in 2027

The anime adaptation of the Murci�lago manga was revealed at the Anime NYC event last Saturday. More info and a first promo below.

Murciélago is the manga by Kana Yoshimura published in the magazine "Young Gangan" by Square Enix since 2013 and still ongoing with over 2.3 million copies in circulation worldwide.

Kuroko Koumori, a former death-row inmate chosen through extraordinary legal measures to serve as a state- sanctioned executioner. By her side is her watchdog and partner, Hinako Tozakura, whose extraordinary driving skills are second to none.
As one heinous crime after another lands on their doorstep, the strongest duo takes on the darkness lurking within society. A wildly unconventional, addictively insane, and dangerously intoxicating buddy action series is set in motion.

The anime is a co-production between Satelight and Staple Entertainment studios, directed by Matsuo Asami (The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom), with series composition and general direction by Takashi Naoya (Am I Actually the Strongest?), character designs by Kiyoshi Tateishi, and music by Masanori Akita and Yuichi Tsuchiya.

Expected in January 2027, it will be distributed in the USA, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand by HIDIVE.

Here is the first promo:
