Karneval Manga Gets Anime

A Karneval anime adaptation is being announced on the cover of volume 9 from Touya Mikanagi's josei-fantasy manga series of the same title. This latest volume has just been released today in Japan, and so has the series' 5th drama CD, for that matter. No details about the anime seem to be known at this time.



The Karneval manga began serialization in 2008. Its story follows the journey of a boy named Nai, who is looking for someone important to him, with only an abandoned bracelet as a clue. Through a series of unfortunate events, he winds up partnered with a thief named Gareki, after the two of them meet in a strange mansion where they are set-up.

Now on the run as wanted criminals by military security operatives, Nai and Gareki learn that the bracelet is actually an ID from the country's most powerful defense organization, called "Circus".

The official Karneval website now also carries a notice about the anime adaptation, along with the following key visual.
