Seimei Kidokoro is directing the series at MAPPA. Hiroshi Seko (Attack on Titan) is in charge of the scripts and series composition. Nao Ootsu (BEASTARS) is designing the characters and is also the chief animation director alongside Masaru Kitao. Yoshiaki Dewa (Fate/stay night, Dororo) is composing the music.
Coolkyoushinja launched the manga in Young Animal in August 2018. The manga is a remake of Amahara's online manga of the same name. The manga's fourth volume will ship on June 29, and the fifth volume will ship one month later on July 29.
In the manga's story, gods appeared when humanity was on the verge of destruction due to the work of demons. Deities called "Idaten" fought and sealed away the demons 800 years ago. Nowadays, the Idaten have no fighting experience and they live peaceful lives. But now the demons are reviving, and the battle between gods, humans, and demons is about to begin.
