The queen of shōnen manga returns to TV! Rumiko Takahashi’s supernatural manga MAO will officially receive an anime adaptation by Sunrise, set to premiere in Spring 2026. Known for classics like Inuyasha and Ranma ½, Takahashi’s newest tale explores curses, reincarnation, and a haunted past.


Story Synopsis

MAO follows Nanoka Kiba, a high school girl who miraculously survives a fatal accident. After returning to the scene, she’s transported to the Taishō era, where she meets the mysterious exorcist Mao. Together, they unravel a series of supernatural events tied to curses, yokai, and the dark force that bound their fates long ago.

Mao himself is cursed with immortality and is on a personal quest to uncover the truth behind the death of his loved ones. As Nanoka navigates her dual life between the modern world and the cursed past, she begins to uncover a hidden power within herself that may be the key to lifting both their curses.
