Masuhiro Soh's critically acclaimed geopolitical manga Funsou Deshitara Hatta Made is officially making the jump to television with an announced anime adaptation. Known as a narrative that breaks down complex global affairs through sharp wit and physical pragmatism, the series follows Yuri Hatta, a geopolitical risk consultant who navigates volatile international flashpoints.
Published in Kodansha's D Morning and Comic DAYS, the story tackles everything from border disputes and racial tensions to religious friction and criminal syndicates across both remote traditional enclaves and hyper-modern metropolises. Yuri's approach relies on a unique blend of high-level intellect, geographic awareness, and hard-nosed combat skills to untangle seemingly impossible standoffs, all while introducing readers to regional cuisines and cultural nuances along the way.

To mark the occasion, Kodansha launched a special promotional campaign on the Comic DAYS app, making the first 30 chapters free to read through September 24.
