The official website for the upcoming TV anime adaptation of Minoru Toyoda's Draw This, Then Die! manga announced today that the anime is set to premiere in Japan in July 2026 . The site also released specific background art depicting the landscapes, streets and stores which serve as the story's setting. The story takes place on Izu Oshima, an island located 120 kilometers south of Tokyo. Toyoda's original Draw This, Then Die! manga is serialized in Shogakukan's Monthly Shonen Sunday magazine since November 2021, releasing eight collected volumes in Japan to date. Seven Seas Entertainment releases the manga's English edition , with the first volume set to release in August 2026. Seven Seas Entertainment describes Draw This, Then Die! as such: Ai Yasumi, a first-year high schooler living on the remote island of Izu Ōshima, has one obsession: manga. When she discovers that her long-idolized but reclusive favorite manga creator, Hoshino-sensei, will make a rare appearance at Comitia, Ai doesn’t hesitate—she has to meet her hero. But that single decision sets off a chain of encounters that will shatter her assumptions about art, genius, and what it truly means to create.
