Killed Again, Mr. Detective light novel written by Teniwoha and illustrated by Riichu is getting an anime adaptation. A teaser trailer was released and the main staff and cast, along with an April 2026 premiere date. Rikuya Yasuda voices the main character as Sakuya Outsuki, while Shion Wakayama stars as Lilithea. Liden Films is animating.
Additionally, Riichu also shared a commemorative illustration.
Takashi Naoya is directing the series with Mio Inoue writing the scripts, Akiko Kumada designing the characters, and Shuhei Mutsuki composing the music.
Yen Press is licensing the manga in English, describing the story as follows:
Sakuya Outsuki is the son of a legendary detective, striving to follow in his father’s footsteps with the help of his assistant, Lilithea. This isn’t your average high-school sleuth, though-because he comes back to life every time he’s killed! Being a little too familiar with death and always awakening to Lilithea by his side, Sakuya’s happy to take on low-risk cases. Surely investigating a movie producer’s affair on a luxury cruise ship won’t pose any real threat! But when the duo ends up entangled in a larger and bloodier situation, Sakuya will have to get to the bottom of the mystery…and die trying!
