Square Enix previously acquired in February 2024 a new property for its print and digital release schedule with Wash It All Away. Known originally as Kirei ni shite moraemasu, it began in 2017 in Gangan Joker for Square Enix and was completed with ten volumes out in print in Japan from creator Mitsuru Hattori.
Yesterday, we talked about how it looked like an anime adaptation may be in our future. As we say each time, domain name registrations are not guarantees, but are like reading the tea leaves of what’s to come. A domain has been registered for this property, and there’s a new special manga chapter out this week, so an announcement could come at any time.
And that any time was just overnight as it’s been formally confirmed with the release of the visual below and plans for a 2026 debut.
The show has Kenta Onishi directing it from the scripts and series composition by Toko Machida. Azuma Tozawa is handling the character designs woth Okuru to Noboru handling the animation production.
Hattori began their career back in 2000 with Inu Neko Jump! They have seventeen properties in their name so far.
