Ryo Hiromatsu's 'Uglymug, Epicfighter' Novel Gets TV Anime
posted on by Joanna Cayanan
A website opened on Monday to announce the television anime adaptation of Ryō Hiromatsu's Busamen Gachi Fighter (Uglymug, Epicfighter) novel. The website also announced that Junichi Suwabe will voice the protagonist Shigeru Yoshioka, and also revealed the anime's main staff and teaser visual.
EGG FIRM is producing the anime, and White Fox is in charge of animation production.
The website also announced that the sequel of the novel's manga adaptation titled Busa-men Gachi-Fighter SSS (with SSS standing for Sugoi Side Story) will launch in the first 2025 issue of Square Enix's Monthly Big Gangan magazine on December 25. More details about the sequel manga will be revealed at a later date.
His looks are -255, touching girls causes him pain, and sexual acts will literally tear him apart. Just what can our ex-salesman Shigeru get in the other world in exchange for such inconveniences...? This is an epic tale of one very ugly, but ridiculously strong man!
Kozuki launched the first manga adaptation in Monthly Big Gangan in 2017, and the series ended in 2020. Square Enix published six compiled book volumes of the manga.
Hiromatsu launched the novel on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō website in 2015, and published the final chapter in October 2022. Kobunsha published one volume of the novel in 2018.
