#news #anime March 15, 2025

Scum of the Brave (Yuusha no Kuzu) manga is getting an anime adaptation by studio OLM. Teaser trailer has been revealed:

The anime will adapt the web manga by Nakashima723, serialized on Leed Publishing's Comic Border website. The manga is based on a light novel written by Rocket Shoukai. The 7th volume of the manga is releasing on March 21.

Rocket Shoukai (also known for Sentenced to Be a Hero: The Prison Records of Penal Hero Unit 9004) released a comment regarding the adaptation:

I love ramen, so I will use ramen as an analogy for this joy.
The enthusiasm of the staff involved and the wonderful work they have done remind me of the harmony of the clear yet rich clam stock soup and the delicate yet chewy thin noodles, and I cannot help but feel excited.
This is all thanks to the support of our readers, so I look forward to the day when we can all enjoy it together.

Mangaka Nakashima723 also had something to say regarding the Scum of the Brave adaptation:

I have drawn the manga with the desire to let everyone to the ends of the galaxy know about Yashiro and Jogamine and their friends.
To the readers and the “scum of the production committee,” thank you very much for finding “Scum of the Brave”!

Manga Planet, the official English licensor for the manga, describes the plot as:
In an alternate 21st century, rich mafia members can turn into "Demon Kings" through increasingly popular ether-enhancement surgery, and the bounty hunters called "Braves" are the ones called upon to take them down. Yashiro only wants the simple pleasures in life - pizza, beer, and card games. When three young Braves offer him a majestic sum to be their private tutor, he agrees solely for the money - but is it worth what he's getting himself into?
