After promising news to come in the newest installment of Jump Square magazine, it’s now hit the stands and has revealed that Studio Pierrot will be animating Twin Star Exorcists. The news comes alongside the official site launch and the reveal that Wagakki Band will be doing the opening theme song for it.
Originally kicking off at the end of 2013, the title has produced six volumes so far. Six volumes gives it enough room to work with at least one season for the property.
Yoshiaki Sukeno’s previous series, the supernatural manga comedy Binbougami ga!, was adapted into the anime Good Luck Girl in 2012. Viz Media is releasing the manga in North America for Twin Star Exorcists.
Plot concept: Beings from the dark realm of Magano creep into our world and can only be expelled by talented exorcists. Rokuro is from a family of exorcists, but after a terrible disaster, he’d rather be a singer, a soccer player or anything else! He’s forced to own up to his incredible potential by the arrival of Benio, an exorcist who’s more than his match and stirs his competitive spirit. When neither can top the other in supernatural combat, they earn the title of “Twin Star Exorcists” – two supreme fighters fated to marry and birth the ultimate spiritual warrior. Will these rivals fall in love? The fate of two worlds hangs in the balance!
