Production company VAP announced a television anime adaptation of Ayaka Katayama's Kin to Tetsu (Fungus and Iron) manga on Wednesday, revealing a teaser visual (pictured).

Katayama began drawing the dystopian sci-fi suspense manga in Bessatsu Shounen Magazine in March 2021. Kodansha published the eighth volume in October 2025, with the ninth volume set to be released on April 9.

Kodansha USA licensed the manga for digital release in English in January 2022 and published the eighth e-book volume on February 24.

Katayama made her debut in 2007 after her one-shot Oni Oi no Kawa was selected for the 78th Shounen Magazine Newcomer Manga Awards. The following year, she won the Grand Prize at Shueisha's inaugural Golden Tiara Award for her sci-fi romcom manga Star Man.

Synopsis
Dante's life on Amigasa seemed normal enough to him, even though everyone around him called him an oddball. But when a chance meeting with a young woman named Aoi changes everything, Dante can no longer sit idly by...unless, of course, he is made to! (Source: Kodansha USA)
