Manga 'Levius' Receives Anime Adaptation
An official website opened for an anime adaptation of Haruhisa Nakata's sci-fi boxing manga Levius on Friday. The anime series will debut on Netflix in Winter 2019.
Synopsis
As society rises from the ashes of war, cybernetically augmented arena fighters battle for fame and fortune... or die trying.
It's the 19th century, and the world has entered the Era of Rebirth, recovering from the devastating flames of war. The sport of mechanical martial arts has galvanized the nations. Cybernetically augmented fighters turn their blood into steam and their bodies into brutal fighting—and killing—machines.
Young Levius is one of those arena battlers, hell-bent on winning in order to simply survive. (Source: VIZ Media)
