The announcement was accompanied by the release of a new visual and a teaser trailer that specifically focused on the character Hayate Todoroki.

The initial 24-episode run of the series began airing on July 11th. Global streaming was handled by Crunchyroll, Netflix, and Prime Video, alongside Bilibili and iQIYI for coverage across Asia and Latin America. The first season adapted the manga's Nerima Arc.

The opening themes for the first season were provided by THE ORAL CIGARETTES and CHOGAKUSE, while the ending themes were performed by BAND-MAID and Elli.

The source material, created by Yura Urushibara, launched in Weekly Shonen Champion in 2020. The manga has surpassed four million copies in circulation. Akita Shoten publishes the volumes in Japan, and Yen Press is set to handle the English release starting in 2024.

The story centers on Shiki Ichinose, who discovers his Oni heritage and is forced to fight against Momotaro hunters. In related media, a short companion series, Onimomomomo, also aired weekly, and stage plays ran in Tokyo and Osaka in 2024, with a follow-up scheduled for January 2025.
