Fullmetal Alchemist is a beloved shonen manga written and illustrated by Hiromu Arawaka that was serialized from July 2001 and June 2010, telling the iconic story of two brothers who pursued alchemy to recover their bodies that were lost in Human Transmutation.

This acclaimed title gained much greater renown through its two anime adaptations by Studio Bones (My Hero Academia, Mob Psycho 100), the 51-episode Fullmetal Alchemist that premiered on October 3, 2003, and the faithful 63-episode Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood that premiered on April 5, 2009.

Now Arakawa has another manga ready to be adapted into an animated format.

On October 16, 2024, it is confirmed that Daemons of the Shadow Realm (Yomi no Tsugai in Japanese).

There are no confirmed dates as to when the anime is likely to air.

Daemons of the Shadow Realm began serialization on December 10, 2021 in Square Enix’s Monthly Shōnen Gangan, the same magazine as Fullmetal Alchemist.

As of writing, the manga has released 8 volumes and 34 chapters since September 12, 2024.

As of September 10, 2024, the series has 3 million copies in circulation for volumes 1 to 7.

Synopsis from Square Enix

“Deep in the mountains, under the watchful eyes of two stone guardians, lies isolated Higashi Village. Unlike some of its residents, young Yuru is content to live out his days foraging and hunting in the nearby woods.
But Yuru’s idyllic life changes forever when Higashi Village comes under attack. Amid the chaos, the young man is whisked away and forbidden to return to the only home and family he’s ever known. And to ensure his safety, the two statues who once stood guard over the village have joined the fight—the Divine Left and Right!
As Yuru soon discovers, commanding these Daemons is his birthright… But after losing everything dear to him, will he be up to the task of unraveling a conspiracy tying him and his twin, Asa, to a prophecy that threatens the entire world?”

The Tsugai in the story are a set of two daemons that characters such as Yuru control, which are comparable to Stands from Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure.
