The April issue of Shueisha 's Ultra Jump magazine confirmed on Tuesday that Tasuku Karasuma 's No Guns Life manga is inspiring a television anime adaptation.

The magazine also confirmed more of the show's staff. Naoyuki Itou ( Overlord all three seasons, Kanon , Kimi no Koe o Todoketai ) is directing the anime at Madhouse ( Boogiepop and Others , Overlord ). Yukie Sugawara ( Overlord all three seasons, Kino's Journey - The Beautiful World , Hina Logic - from Luck & Logic ) is overseeing the series scripts and Masanori Shino ( Black Lagoon , Digimon Adventure tri. films, Gungrave ) is designing the characters.

Viz Media licensed the manga and will begin releasing it this fall. The company describes the story:

With no memory of his previous life—or who replaced his head with a giant gun—Juzo Inui now scratches out a living in the dark streets of the city as a Resolver.

Karasuma launched the manga in August 2014 after first publishing the story as a one-shot manga. Shueisha released the eighth compiled book volume on Tuesday .

Karusuma has also drawn manga adaptations of Reideen and Eiichi Ikegami 's Shangri-La novel.
