No dates or details were given at the time and that’s still largely true, though a little information has now come out. A tweet from the original creator has revealed that the anime adaptation is planned for this year, but no season has been set for it yet.

The manga began in 2016 in the magazine and there are twelve volumes out as of this week. Viz Media has the North American rights to the manga and brought out the eighth translated volume last month.
