We learned way back in February 2017 with the seventh volume of the Killing Bites manga that it was getting an anime adaptation and the updates continue to roll out ahead of its winter 2018 debut. With the cast and staff revealed and the first promo out previously, the third promos has landed that takes a look at the character of Sumire Uesaka as Ui Inaba as we get a good dash of action and fanservice. Nishikata Yasuto will direct based on the series composition by Aoi Akashiro. Kazuo Watanabe is on board with the character designs and LIDENFILMS will be handling the animation production.

The manga comes from writer Shinya Murata and artist Kazasa Sumita that began in the magazine back in the fall of 2013 with seven volumes released so far.
Plot concept: People have been created that are human-animal hybrids, and powerful businesses bet on the outcome of their duels. College student Yuuya Nomoto’s casual acquaintances ask him to drive them around to pick up girls one day, which he soon finds out means by force. The girl they kidnap is an animal-human hybrid named Hitomi, who slaughters all of them except Yuuya. Hitomi is a honey badger, which has been called the most fearless of all animals. Now Hitomi is assigned to stay with Yuuya, for his protection!
