Miki Yoshikawa’s vampire comedy manga Hiragi-san’s House of Vampires is getting a TV anime adaptation, according to official notices released on Saturday by Kodansha and TMS Entertainment. Production planning belongs to TMS’ UNLIMITED PRODUCE, a creative unit at TMS Entertainment. As Alex Mateo reported for Anime News Network, the story follows an orphan who moves into a lavish Japanese estate, only to discover at night that every family member drinks human blood [1].
First Look at the Hiragi-San Anime
Producers launched an official website at hiragihouse-anime.com and opened the verified feed @hiragihouse_PR to communicate directly with fans regarding upcoming broadcast updates on October 30, 2026. Melvyn Tan at Anime Trending reported that the team shared a super teaser visual showing the central characters [2]. UNLIMITED PRODUCE by TMS coordinates planning and business operations for the new Hiragi-san anime, while staff have not named the chief director, voice cast, or studio partner.
Soul Kiwami at Final Weapon noted that TMS’ UNLIMITED PRODUCE oversees media management rather than drawing individual frames in-house, letting independent studios handle physical animation once pre-production wraps up [4]. Work continues behind closed doors. The single teaser art remains the only official graphic shared so far.
Official materials confirm a standard TV run instead of a movie or web short. Japanese announcements list the show under the title Hiragi-san chi no Kyuketsuki Jijo, matching the print run serialized in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine since October 2021 [5]. Kodansha and TMS coordinated the Saturday reveal across digital outlets. Opening dedicated portals early gives fans a central spot for future trailers and cast updates.
The Vampire Family Premise
The story centers on Shota Minamoto, a middle school orphan living in a children’s home after losing his parents. K Manga summarizes the opening hook directly: “Meet our protagonist, Shota Minamoto, a junior-high student who also happens to be an orphan in a children’s home. One day, he was adopted by a family living in a luxurious, Japanese-style estate. Welcomed warmly by them all, Shota started letting his guard down, but this family had a ‘secret’ that the world could never know” [1]. His relief shatters on his first night in the mansion when a family member pounces in the dark and bites his neck, revealing the terrifying secret behind his hosts. Every relative is a vampire. Shota cannot simply run away because he has no other home to go to.
Every relative drinks human blood to survive. This terrifying reality turns an adoption into a hostage situation. The official website asks whether the Hiragi family welcomed Shota as a genuine child or invited him home as convenient emergency food, but despite that mortal threat the story plays the premise as an energetic romantic comedy filled with daily misunderstandings [5]. Shota must balance his fondness for the quirky family with pure survival instincts, dodging sharp fangs during daily housework while trying to figure out his place in the house.
Living in the estate forces Shota to sleep lightly while dodging thirsty roommates. As Kodansha wrote in its official teaser, “Thus begins a cozy, bloody love comedy!” [1]. That mix of warm slice-of-life scenes and comedic panic gives the story its distinct charm.
Origins in Bessatsu Shonen Magazine
Creator Miki Yoshikawa built a huge following through hit rom-coms in Kodansha magazines. Her best-known work, A Couple of Cuckoos (serialized as Kakkou no Iinazuke and translated as The Cuckoo’s Fiance), gained millions of readers and earned a TV anime before this vampire story began [3]. Yoshikawa first drew the concept as a one-shot titled Hiiragi-san Chi no Kyuuketsu Jijou in Weekly Shōnen Magazine on September 11, 2019, before expanding it into a full series. Comic Natalie noted strong fan enthusiasm for the one-shot, leading Kodansha editors to approve a full monthly run. The ongoing series officially debuted in Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine on October 8, 2021 [7]. Yoshikawa proved that blending domestic warmth with vampire fangs resonated strongly with comedy readers.
Kodansha began compiling chapters into books in 2022. The first book arrived on May 17, 2022 (ISBN: 978-4-06-527926-7), followed by volume 2 on December 16, 2022 (ISBN: 978-4-06-529988-3) and volume 3 on August 17, 2023 (ISBN: 978-4-06-532605-3) [7]. Volume 4 landed on April 17, 2024 (ISBN: 978-4-06-535164-2).
Print releases continued through 2025 as the cast grew. Kodansha shipped volume 5 on January 17, 2025 (ISBN: 978-4-06-538058-1) and released volume 6 on November 17, 2025 (ISBN: 978-4-06-541558-0), providing plenty of source material for a full television run [7]. That steady print library gives animators complete arcs to draw straight from Yoshikawa’s original manga pages.
English Digital Release on K Manga
Western readers gained official digital access when Kodansha added the manga to K Manga. The service launched the series in the United States in May 2023, offering English chapters with the rest of its Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine catalog to overseas readers [7]. Fans who read on phones can follow Shota chapter by chapter as updates arrive. Fast digital releases helped Yoshikawa build a foreign audience well before TMS revealed the TV show.
Japanese readers also enjoy chapters on Kodansha’s app Pocket Shōnen Magazine, commonly called MagaPoke. The app adds free chapter updates on the second Wednesday of each month, with fresh chapters appearing around the 9th [6]. Free mobile updates keep readers engaged between print volumes. Having digital outlets in English and Japanese lets the story reach fans outside print bookshops.
Digital popularity often helps comedy titles win greenlights for TV anime. Similar digital interest boosted other manga and light novel adaptations, including Yasuaki Mikami’s Job for a Maid light novels receiving a TV anime project. For Yoshikawa’s vampire series, steady reader numbers on K Manga proved strong demand across global markets [3]. Having English chapters ready also makes subtitle work simpler once streaming begins.
Broadcast Plans for the Hiragi-San Anime
Because the Hiragi-san anime is in early pre-production, TMS has kept debut dates under wraps. Producers have not named an air date, a TV channel, or the animation studio drawing the episodes [1]. Viewers tracking news can follow the website hiragihouse-anime.com and the feed @hiragihouse_PR. Cast announcements usually drop during industry livestreams.
The presence of UNLIMITED PRODUCE by TMS shows an ambitious commercial plan for global screens. Past TMS Entertainment projects teamed up with skilled freelance animators and sound directors to make memorable shows, giving fans hope that the new adaptation will capture the manga’s comedic timing [2]. Yoshikawa’s expressive art style needs fluid comedy timing to sell every punchline, especially when fangs come out during dinner. Fans hope the new series captures the vibrant energy of the original comic.
With six printed volumes already in stores, animators have plenty of manga chapters to build a strong season. Readers can buy the Japanese books or read official English chapters on K Manga [7]. The Hiragi-san anime is officially underway.
