The novel “Onmyoji” by Baku Yumemakura will be adapted into an anime and exclusively distributed worldwide as a Netflix series in 2023.
At the same time, the main character, Abe no Seimei’s character visuals and concept art, have been unveiled. It was announced on September 25th at the global fan event “TUDUM Japan” hosted by Netflix.

In the anime, original episodes are added based on the original’s worldview, and Seimei’s new story is drawn.
Directed by Aomi Yamamoto (affiliated with Comics Wave Films) of “This man.” series, “Meganebu!” Kato Yuko of Sparks, and animation production by Marvy Jack.
