The anime is based on the fantasy manga series by Shinobu Takayama, which ran in Ichijinsha’s Comic Zero Sum WARD magazine from January 16, 2008 to May 16, 2015. The manga then moved to Zero-Sum Online on September 18, 2015, where it has been serialized since. Seventeen tankobon volumes have been released as of October 2024.  

Amazon Prime Video is streaming Haigakura worldwide, along with It’s Anime, who is streaming the anime on its YouTube channel. The latter describes the main synopsis as: 

On a journey to find ourselves. With captured family and a missing past, Ichiyo, a kashi, battles alongside Tenko to regain what’s lost. The Immortal realm. Immortals and humans dwell in a world on the verge of collapse. Ichiyo and Tenko search for the key to salvation, the ‘Four Perils’ who hold this land together.
