Post-Apocalyptic Roots
Originally conceived by manga artist ippatu, Tsugumi Project followed an unusual international journey before receiving its domestic serialization in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine. The series initially debuted in France through publisher Ki-oon in 2019, quickly turning heads with its meticulously detailed, gritty visual style and unrelenting survival atmosphere before concluding its Japanese run across seven compiled volumes.
In the far future, a soldier named Leon is taken from his family on a trumped-up charge and dropped into a suicide mission: Recover a dangerous weapon from a deadly place — a place ruled by huge, irradiated, mutated monsters — a place once known, 200 years ago, as Japan. He and his teammates aren't expected to survive this place. One of the scant pieces of information they have is the weapon's name: Tsugumi.
With production underway, the production team on the official X account continues to build momentum for the adaptation of one of modern seinen manga's most gripping survival tales.
