Yoshimura Kana‘s manga “Murciélago” is being adapted into a TV anime set to premiere in 2027, with HIDIVE announcing exclusive streaming rights for the U.S., Canada and several other markets.
The adaptation was unveiled at Anime Expo 2026.
Serialized in Square Enix’s Young Gangan since August 2013, “Murciélago” has sold more than 2.3 million copies worldwide and runs 28 volumes in Japan, with 26 volumes released internationally.
HIDIVE, the anime streaming service from AMC Global Media, will carry the series exclusively for subscribers in the U.S. and Canada, along with the U.K., Ireland, Australia and New Zealand.
The story centers on Kuroko Koumori, a former death-row inmate recruited under an unusual legal arrangement to work as an executioner for the state, and her partner Hinako Tozakura, an unassuming young woman with exceptional driving skills. Together the pair take on threats hidden within society.
