10 Upcoming Anime You MUST Watch
3. In/Spectre - 虚構推理
In/Spectre is a supernatural/mystery manga first published in 2015. Since it first hit store shelves, the series has been collected in nine volumes. An anime adaptation was announced in January 2019 with Keiji Gotoh set to direct scripts by Noboru Takagi. The series is set to premiere in January 2020.
Crunchyroll is co-producing the series and has the streaming rights to launch it for the world when it premieres in Japan. The adaptation isn't much of a surprise given the popularity of the manga, which has sold more than two million copies. It was also nominated for Best Shōnen Manga at the 42nd annual Kodansha Manga Award in 2018.
Kodansha Comics took over publishing the Manga in English, and it describes the series as a supernatural mystery romance:
When she was still just a girl, Kotoko was kidnapped by yokai. These spirits made her into a powerful intermediary between the spirit and human worlds, but this power came at a price: an eye and a leg. Now, years later, she watches out for dangerous yokai while developing feelings for a young man named Kuro, who is also special: an incident with a yokai has given him healing powers. He's surprised when Kotoko asks him to team up to handle renegade yokai, preserving the thin line between reality and the supernatural.
The anime is expected to adhere to the source material.
