The Show Must Go On
Ayakashi Triangle is the third Aniplex television anime this season to suffer from delays, following NieR:Automata Ver 1.1a and UniteUp!. Despite these setbacks, the show premiered on January 9 in Japan, and Crunchyroll is streaming the series as it airs.
Storyline and Characters
The story follows teenager Kazamaki Matsuri, who is part of an elite force of ninja exorcists tasked with fighting malicious ayakashi spirits who threaten Japan. Matsuri fiercely protects his childhood friend, the spirit medium Kanade Suzu, and as their relationship blooms from friendship into something more, a powerful cat ayakashi casts a forbidden spell that turns Matsuri into a woman. With no apparent way to undo the spell, Matsuri must continue battling ayakashi and go back to school in this new feminine body until he can find a way to turn back.
The series is based on Kentaro Yabuki’s manga of the same name, which is published in English digitally by Viz Media and Shueisha, and the compiled book volumes are released digitally and physically by Seven Seas.
