Phlaryx said: Wait what. Did I read that right? How did we go from adapting 20 stories down to 5 stories? Say sike right now. It is a mistake. 20 stories will be adapted: The anime will debut in 2023, and will include 20 stories from Ito's body of work that will be animated "for the first time." The anime will include stories from Tomie, Sōichi, and The Hanging Balloons volumes, among other volumes.
