The wraparound jacket band on the 10th volume of Keitarō Takahashi 's Jormungand manga is announcing on Monday that a television anime adaptation by the studio WHITE FOX ( Steins;Gate ) has been green-lit. The story centers on an underground weapon seller and her accomplices, and it begins when a quiet boy who hates weapons joins the team.

The action manga began in Shogakukan 's Monthly Sunday GX magazine in 2006, and it will end in the February 2012 issue on January 19. Viz Media began releasing Jormungand in North America in 2009, and the company's English edition of the eighth compiled book will ship on January 10.
