The anime is based on the Iwamoto-senpai no Suisen manga by Shiibashi Hiroshi. Shiinashi (Nurarihyon no Mago, Illegal Rare, Kamio Yui wa Kami o Yui) started the manga in February 2021 in Shueisha’s Ultra Jump magazine, and Shueisha published the manga’s first tankoubon volume in July 2021. The manga’s 14th volume is scheduled for release on July 17th, 2026.
The manga story follows Kodo Iwamoto, a third-year student at Seiho Middle School in the 1910’s. The school is directly controlled by the military and is dedicated to the collection and research of supernatural phenomena to harness that power for military use. Under orders from the military, Kodo travels around the country to investigate supernatural phenomena, and he encounters many mysterious events.
