Shin'ya, who requests cooperation from the 20th Unit... Anime Tougen Anki Episode 15 Synopsis & Preview Images Released

Tougen Anki is based on the popular manga by Yura Urushibara, currently serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion (Akita Shoten), with over 4.5 million copies in circulation. The series is a modern take on the classic Japanese folklore of Momotaro (Peach Boy), depicting a fierce conflict between the descendants of the legendary Oni (demons/ogres) and the descendants of Momotaro.

The story centers on Shiki Ichinose (CV: Kazuki Ura), a boy who lived as an ordinary human until he was suddenly attacked by a mysterious man belonging to the "Momotaro institution." While escaping with his adoptive father, Shiki learns that his pursuers are the bloodline of the Momotaro legend, and that he himself is a descendant of the Oni. This is the modern tale of the descendants of Momotaro and Oni—a far cry from the old story of the old man and the old woman.
