In a power move, Kadokawa and P.A.WORKS studios have dropped the bombshell announcement. They're rolling out a fresh anime original, dubbed “Mayonaka Punch (Midnight Punch)”. Fans, mark your calendars for the Summer-2024 (July-September) season premiere. The buzz is real, but the plot? Shrouded in mystery, as the big reveal kept it under wraps.

Production Squad on Deck

  • Shuu Honma, known for hits like Paripi Koumei, takes the helm at P.A.WORKS.
  • Scriptwriting maverick Hideaki Shirasaka, another Paripi Koumei alum, oversees the narrative.
  • Character design whiz Ryouta Arima, with creds like Jigokuraku, brings the visuals to life, inspired by Tsukasa Kotobuki's original designs.
