Announced last week, the webcomic series Spiritpact, a boys-love property that has over 160 chapters so far from creator Pingzi, is on track for a January 7th, 2017 debut on Tokyo MX. Ahead of its debut we now have the first key visual from the show that gives us a taste of how the character designs are being translated into anime form, which looks pretty slick. The series is directed by Haolin Li based on the script from Reiko Torii. Animation is being handled by Emon. The cast includes:
- Yuuichi Iguchi as Keika You
- Shunsuke Takeuchi as Ki Tanmoku
- Rumi Ookubo as Shiyou Shin
Plot concept: Heir of an old famous family of exorcist, Keika You is stricken by poverty after losing his parents. He struggles as a street fortune teller and computer recovery part timer to earn money. One night in a junkyard, he meets the mysterious yet charismatic exorcist, Ki Tanmoku, fighting an evil spirit. This encounter is the beginning of a fated story for Keika. Unfortunately for him, he was actually hit by a car and became a ghost. That was when the handsome exorcist Ki appeared and asked Keika to make a “pact” with him to fight evil spirits together. Here starts the friendship of our heroes!
