The anime will debut in January 2027.<\/p>\n

Kodansha<\/a>‘s K MANGA<\/a> is releasing<\/a> the manga in English, and it describes the story:<\/p>\n

After shocking the world with Parasyte<\/a>, Hitoshi Iwaaki is back with a series he’s been aching to tackle since even before his pro manga debut! A historical epic set in ancient times, Historie tells the story of Eumenes, a young man with quick wits and a vast destiny to fulfill. In time, he’ll become a famed army commander and personal secretary to Alexander the Great\u2014but the road to this glory is fraught with danger\u2026<\/p>\n

Iwaaki began his ongoing manga Historie in Kodansha’s Afternoon<\/a> magazine in October 2004. Kodansha published the manga’s 12th compiled book volume on June 21, 2024, and the series has over 4.7 million copies in circulation. The series won<\/a> the Japanese government’s Ministry of Cultural Affairs’ Media Arts<\/a> Festival Award for manga in 2010 and<\/a> the 16th Annual Tezuka Osamu Cultural Prize in 2012. It won<\/a> the Best General Manga category in the 49th Kodansha Manga Awards in 2025.<\/p>\n

Iwaaki noted in the announcement of the anime that he first conceived the story over four decades ago, and first began sketching the art in his then-tiny studio some 20-odd years ago. <\/p>\n

Iwaaki’s Parasyte (Kiseiju) manga ran from 1990 to 1995 and inspired an anime series and two live-action films from 2014 to 2015.<\/p>\n
