‘Katekyo Hitman Reborn!’ Announces New TV Anime Project for 20th Anniversary

The manga series ‘Katekyo Hitman Reborn!’ has launched a new TV anime project to mark its 20th anniversary. Creator Akira Amano originally serialized the story in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2004 to 2012. The announcement confirms production of fresh animated content based on the property.

The original anime adaptation aired 203 episodes from 2006 to 2011. Studio Artland handled production for that series. It followed Tsunayoshi Sawada, a junior high student chosen as the tenth boss of the Vongola mafia family.

Amano’s manga spanned 42 compiled volumes. Shueisha published the series, which sold over 30 million copies worldwide. The narrative combined action, comedy, and supernatural elements involving flame-powered abilities.

The new project includes television anime components. Additional details remain scheduled for release throughout 2026. No studio, staff, or format specifics have emerged yet.

The franchise previously expanded through video games, light novels, and stage plays. Target tests and special episodes supplemented the main anime run. Characters like Reborn, the infant hitman tutor, gained significant popularity.

This revival aligns with ongoing celebrations for the anniversary. Jump-related events highlighted the series earlier in the year. Fans anticipate potential adaptation of later arcs or original stories.

The property centers on Tsuna’s growth amid mafia conflicts and guardian recruitments. Supporting cast members include Hayato Gokudera and Kyoya Hibari. The story progressed through multiple saga divisions.

Production committees typically involve Shueisha and associated broadcasters. Past partners included TV Tokyo for the original broadcast. The new anime aims to introduce the series to contemporary audiences.
