The anime will debut in January 2027. HIDIVE will stream the series exclusively in the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, and New Zealand.

HIDIVE describes the story:

Fight evil with evil—

Kuroko Koumori, a former death-row inmate chosen through extraordinary legal measures to serve as a state- sanctioned executioner.

By her side is her watchdog and partner, Hinako Tozakura, whose extraordinary driving skills are second to none.

As one heinous crime after another lands on their doorstep, the strongest duo takes on the darkness lurking within society.

A wildly unconventional, addictively insane, and dangerously intoxicating buddy action series is set in motion—

Matsuo Asami (The Villainess Is Adored by the Prince of the Neighbor Kingdom, SHIBOYUGI: Playing Death Games to Put Food on the Table episode director) is directing the anime at Satelight and Staple Entertainment. Takashi Naoya (Am I Actually the Strongest?) is the chief director and is also handling the series composition. Kiyoshi Tateishi is designing the characters. Masanori Akita and Yūichi Tsuchiya are composing the music.

Yoshimura launched the ongoing manga in Square Enix's Young Gangan magazine in 2013. Square Enix published the manga's 29th compiled book volume on July 24. Yen Press is releasing the original Murciélago manga in English, and it published the 27th volume in English on September 22.

The manga has 2.3 million copies in circulation worldwide.

Yoshimura launched the Murciélago Byproduct Araña manga in Square Enix's Manga UP! app in January 2018 as a spinoff of Yoshimura's Murciélago. The manga ended in June 2020. The story focuses on the character Reiko Kuchiba.
