The official website for the television anime of Ira Ishida’s Ikebukuro West Gate Park novel series began streaming the first English-subtitled promotional video on Friday.
The mystery novel series is set in Tokyo’s Ikebukuro ward, in the eponymous Ikebukuro Nishiguchi Kōen (known by locals as “Ikebukuro West Gate Park,” the place’s English name).
The series inspired a popular live-action television series in 2000, as well as a live-action special titled Ikebukuro West Gate Park Soup no Kai in 2003.
Ishida published the 15th Ikebukuro West Gate Park novel volume on September 12.
