WWWave Corporation announced on Friday that its Deregula anime label is producing an anime adaptation of Rui Takatō's Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight! (Hagure Idol Jigokuhen) manga that will premiere in January 2027. Takatō drew the below illustration to celebrate the anime's announcement:
The anime's cast includes:
- Hisako Tōjō as Misora Haebaru
- Nao Shiraki as Sarah Goujima
- Natsumi Murakami as Chae Yoon-Hee
- Hikaru Iida as Nene Kori
Takashi Andō (My Life as Inukai-san's Dog, My Girlfriend's Friend) is directing the anime at Raiose. Eeyo Kurosaki (Yoasobi Gurashi, Do You Like Big Girls?, The Lonely Snow Widow and the Cursed Ring) is both writing and supervising the series' scripts. Ryūji Iwata (My Girlfriend's Friend) is designing the characters. Morimori is the chief animation director. ZincP is composing the music.
Yutaka Aota is directing the art, while Do Kim Hoan Tran is credited for art setting. Riku Saito is in charge of color setting. Tomohiro Hayashi is the compositing director of photography and the editor. Akinori Shiba is directing the sound at the studio Object.
Seven Seas Entertainment licensed the manga under its Ghost Ship adult imprint, and it describes the story:
Eighteen-year-old karate expert Misora Haebaru moves to Tokyo to pursue her dream of becoming a famous singer. Unfortunately, her sleazy handlers trick her into the adult entertainment industry instead. Her only way out is to survive a martial arts tournament where she must fight her way through one hundred lustful male opponents. If she loses, she will pay the ultimate erotic price!
The manga launched in Nihonbungeisha's Bessatsu Manga Goraku magazine in February 2014. The magazine ended publication in December 2014, and the series moved to Manga Goraku Special in March 2015. Nihonbungeisha shipped the manga's 19th compiled book volume on April 28. Seven Seas Entertainment released the manga's eighth omnibus volume (corresponding to the original volumes 17-18) on July 14. The manga inspired a live-action film that opened in Japan in September 2020.
The manga had entered its climax in July 2021. Takatō had stated in 2022 that he was retiring from drawing manga due to circumstances at his home making it difficult to constantly draw manga about "boobs and sex," and with his retirement announcement, the manga went on hiatus. Takatō returned to the industry and resumed the manga in March 2024.
Takatō's Pale Blue Dot Battle Athletes Daiundōkai ReSTART! manga is a completely new story for the 90s multimedia franchise Battle Athletes Victory. The manga's prologue debuted on Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha's manga website Comic Ruelle & Comic Jardi in June 2020, and ended in March 2021. The manga inspired an anime adaptation that premiered in Japan in April 2021, and Funimation streamed the show as it aired.
