Bandai Namco Filmworks confirmed that the Isekai Munchkin: HP 1 no Mama de Saikyou Saisoku Danjon Kouryaku (Otherworldly Munchkin: Let’s Speedrun the Dungeon with Only 1 HP) manga by Shimizu Yuu and Aogiri Makoto has been green-lit for a TV anime adaptation.
Aogiri, the manga’s artist, released an illustration to commemorate the news, and Bandai Namco released a teaser visual for the anime. The company also confirmed that Yokota Mamoru will direct the anime at Durandal studio.

Kodansha USA Publishing releases the manga digitally in English, and it will release the 10th volume on November 12th, 2024.
16-year-old Yukito Kirihara lives with his 14-year-old sister Sana, who he treasures more than anyone else. But when an ogre shows up outside of his window looking for Sana (a shocking event in its own right), Yukito leaps to save her—and is killed. He’s offered the promise of reincarnation by a mysterious woman, who gives him a character sheet in a mysterious book. But when Yukito sees Sana in there, too, he sets off to find her, and save them both—even if he only has 1 HP with which to do it!
