The Demons Scheme Manga Gets a 2027 TV Anime From Studio TNK

What was announced

The official account and website for The Demons Scheme (魔のものたちは企てる) revealed on July 7 that the manga is getting a television anime, set to broadcast in 2027. The announcement arrived with a teaser visual, a main cast, an introduction to the story, and a freshly opened official site, along with comments from the lead voice actors. No specific premiere date or season has been announced yet, and the staff and cast beyond the core names have not been detailed.

The story

The official site bills the series as a slapstick comedy set inside the development bureau of a Demon King's army. Its schemers are tasked with harvesting the magical energy that arises from human humiliation, and they chase that goal through every trap and gimmick imaginable. At the center is Merisha, a rising adventurer on the cusp of hero-class recognition who is easily lured into the bureau's snares, which makes her a prized target. The tone leans knowingly adult, playing its villains' obsessions for laughs rather than menace.

Cast and staff

Junichi Suwabe voices Renden-kyo, the bureau director fixated on his humiliation experiments. Wakana Kuramochi plays Letze, his food-loving assistant who hides her true species, and Haruka Shiraishi voices Merisha, the adventurer forever walking into traps. According to the official site, the anime is directed by Takuya Asaoka, with series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu and character designs by Hiraku Kaneko. Animation production is handled by studio TNK.

The source manga

The Demons Scheme is based on the manga written by Takuji Kato and illustrated by Gashigashi, published by KADOKAWA under its Dragon Comics Age label. The official site lists four volumes in print at the time of the announcement. An English release of the manga has not been announced, and the anime does not yet carry an official English title, so the name used here is a working translation of the Japanese 魔のものたちは企てる. With only a 2027 window confirmed so far, the production has yet to reveal a broadcast date, a trailer, or its streaming plans.
