 Pony Canyon opened an official website for the television anime adaptation of Kenichi Kondou's Dark Gathering manga on Tuesday, revealing the main staff, a teaser visual (pictured), and a teaser promotional video. The anime is set to premiere in 2023.Hiroshi Ikehata (Tonikaku Kawaii) is directing the anime at OLM. Kondou started serializing the horror manga in March 2019 in Jump SQ. magazine. The ninth volume was released on March 4, with the tenth volume to be shipped on August 4. Synopsis Keitarou Gentouga is a college freshman who hates ghosts. Unluckily for him, he has a knack for attracting spirits. Two years ago, this connection had led to him receiving a spiritual injury on his right hand, with his friend getting caught in the crossfire. The event caused him to become a shut-in, leaving him with very poor social skills. Fortunately, Keitarou is slowly starting to mingle with society, thanks to the help of his childhood friend, Eiko Houzuki. As part of his rehabilitation, Keitarou takes on the part-time job of a private tutor, and his first pupil is none other than Eiko's cousin, Yayoi Houzuki. Besides being a child prodigy, there is another peculiarity regarding Yayoi—she has a spiritual constitution, just like Keitarou. However, in contrast to Keitarou, she yearns to encounter spirits, hoping to find the ghost that took her mother away. As Keitarou is dragged along by Yayoi and Eiko to haunted spots, his part-time job seems to be straying further and further away from its original purpose.

| Eyyy! It's Mieruko-chan 2.0 |
 |
| Is that really a shounen? The synopsis sounds like the plot of a typical youth drama about ghosts from the 00s. |
 |
| Sounds nice, hopefully it doesn't turn into a comedy. |
 |
| If it's as scary as Mieruko chan (though manga got more eerie atmosphere than the anime) then sure I'll give it a go |
| Nice, I wonder how bad they will censor it. Some of the ghosts are hardcore like the main one that's a giant womb. |
 |
| Dunno what to expect from this, but hopefully it turns out well |
| looking to see a ghost waifu |
| i see horror i am immediately interested |
  placeholder text |
| Good to see OLM's gonna animate it. |
 |
| You know it's japanese horror, because yeah shut-ins. |
 |
| I hope this is as good as Mieruko-chan |
| Sounds interesting, definitely gonna check this one out. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| seems people have wrong expectation on this series, LMAO. |
 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| Hey, it is that, "ghosts that actually kill people" thing. |
I may make you feel but I can't make you think.  |
| Meh, just straight-up dull. Not interested. Kuma said: seems people have wrong expectation on this series, LMAO. You're familiar with it, I take it? Does it not conform to what the synopsis suggests? |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
O_T_T said: it's closer to ghost hunt (the actual one, not the comedy dub one) rather than mieruko but much more hardcore or should i say edgier. about kids who fight and exorcist actually malicious ghost. the twist is that the kids "tamed" them gathering those wicked ghost to fight the ultimate ghost that kill the kids mom. Meh, just straight-up dull. Not interested. Kuma said: seems people have wrong expectation on this series, LMAO. You're familiar with it, I take it? Does it not conform to what the synopsis suggests? |

piplupcola said: I am fucking sold now...Hopefully the anime adaptation manages to capture all of this very wellOmg yes I'm so excited! Dark Gathering is one of my favourite horror mangas! The ghost are terrifying but the choreography between the ghost battling each other are so well drawn even without them speaking. Cant wait for the anime I'm definitely gonna watch it when it comes out. You think Mieruko is scary? Hah! Mieruko's ghost are comedic in comparison to these monsters. |
| This is one of the few genuine horror manga. It's incredibly well detailed, and INCREDIBLY fucked up. This shit will give you nightmares. Most fucked up story for me is either or the entire baby part of the Angel-sama arc. FUCKED! UP! The graduate ghosts are awesome as well. Very creative. The sergeant is my favorite. He wants you to kill him, and will actually make himself weaker. But he'll copy his weakness onto you, so if you don't kill him in one attack, you waste away to nothing. And he's one of the morally GOOD ghosts. |
