Mag Garden announced that Mikihisa Konishi’s Reincarnation no Kaben (Petals of Reincarnation) manga will be adapted into a new television anime. This news comes as the manga celebrates its 10th anniversary.
Alongside the announcement, Mag Garden unveiled a visual for the anime and released a 10th-anniversary promotional video for the manga. While the visuals and video have been shared, no additional details about the anime, such as the release date or production team, have been disclosed at this time.
The Plot
The manga follows the story of Tōya Senji, a high school student who, despite being academically gifted, considers himself average when compared to his overachieving older brother. Tōya yearns to find something that makes him special. His life takes a turn when he encounters Haito La Buffet, a classmate who has been absent for a long time. Haito reveals that she has used a “branch of reincarnation” to inherit talents from her past life, specifically the legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, making her a “Returner.”
Returners are individuals reincarnated with talents from their past lives. Haito informs Tōya about the existence of other Returners who have grand ambitions for their reincarnated talents. This revelation sets the stage for Tōya’s journey to discover his own potential and the broader implications of the Returners’ abilities.
Mikihisa Konishi launched Petals of Reincarnation in Mag Garden‘s Comic Blade magazine in May 2014. However, the manga was transferred to the magazine’s online website in September 2014 after Comic Blade ceased publication. Despite this transition, the manga has continued to thrive. Mag Garden published the 19th compiled volume of the manga on January 10, showcasing its enduring popularity.
