Manga Box announced that My Death Flags Show No Sign of Ending will begin airing as a TV anime in 2027, according to a PR TIMES release published by Oricon News on November 11, 2026. The release does not name the anime's staff, cast or animation studio.
The story follows Kazuki Hirasawa, an ordinary college student who finds himself possessing Harold Stokes, a villain in Brave Hearts, a game Kazuki has played extensively. If the game's scenario plays out, the heroes will eventually defeat Harold and he will die. Kazuki tries to use Harold's exceptional strength and his own knowledge of the game to avoid a long list of death flags and find a route to survival.
Izumi's original novel won the grand prize at the third Narō Con Taishō (now the Net Shōsetsu Taishō), the largest contest on the novel site Shōsetsuka ni Narō. Takarajimasha published it in August 2015. Mitsuya Otosu's manga adaptation began serialization on the Manga Box smartphone app in June 2020, and Takarajimasha has published print volumes since January 2021. Atiki is credited with the original character designs. The release says the series passed 1.75 million copies in October 2026, a figure based on sales of print comics, novels and e-books.
All three creators sent congratulatory comments. Izumi said the adaptation was possible thanks to the help of many people and hoped the anime will reach not only existing readers of the novels and manga but also people who have never read the series. Atiki called it deeply moving that a work they took on early in their illustration career is being adapted. Otosu wrote that each time supervision materials arrive, they can hardly contain their excitement about how the characters will tell their story in the anime, and said they will keep working on the manga.
