Manga 'Chuuzenji-sensei Mononoke Kougiroku' Gets TV Anime in 2025

An anime in the same universe as Mouryou no hako? Sign me up. really wish they'd adapt more of the main series tho rather than a side series, but I ain't complaining

Early Showa era is an interesting setting but this promo art looks really cheap. It will probably be just another low quality manga promo. And shoujo in disguise to make it worse.

@Antanaru I understand what you mean by "shoujo in disguise", but it is standard practice for work to be published as shonen with the goal of not only appealing to the standard male demographic, but also attracting an additional female audience. The general premise is aimed at a male audience, but such a setting and obviously handsome men are popular with girls, so why not?

@RobertBobert In general, writing in shoujo is much worse than in an average shounen. They are more or less a picture harlequin. I've often picked series to read almost at random and it was really easy to spot one written by a female author, who clearly should be publishing in a shoujo magazine, by how characters acted and the flow of the plot.

Before someone mentions Arakawa Hiromu - she was an outlier with FMA and a one time wonder too (FMA is good, though it lost focus by the end, but Gin no Saji was such a slog to read). I love Aria but Amano Kozue struck the gold just once, I couldn't even bother to finish Amanchu.


As for anime, this one reminds me of... I think it was set in Taisho era with fox girls and military guys. Sounds great right? Military guys and fox girls for boys, handsome military guys and cute yukata for girls but I can't recall anything about that series other than setting and that it exists.

@Antanaru, how does it remind you if the mentioned one has fox girls?? It is completely different!

@Memore I mean interesting setting wasted on cheaply made shoujo in disguise.

@CrunchyCrobat, yes, author is the same. I recommend to watch it!

@Memore

By the way, I've read both the Kyogokudo series of novels and this manga, but strictly speaking, the authors are not the same.

This work is,
・Kyogoku Natsuhiko (original idea)
・Hanzo Tamura ( writer )
・Aki Shimizu (artist)

So, to be precise, Kyogoku Natsuhiko is only the original idea.

@Antanaru, it is not a shojo, it is a detective, read carefully please!

@Memore You'll see. Also, shoujo can't be a mystery/detective story?

I really hope they adapt Ubume no Natsu and also a remake to Mouryou no Hako.
