Supernatural mystery and shounen-ai are two genres that should not work together. Given the reception of the manga and the live-action movie, somehow, The Night Beyond the Tricornerned Window pulls it off.
The story plays out in a world where detectives take the help of exorcists to investigate crimes that might involve ghosts. It is difficult to see how a romance might blossom in such a serious situation. It might have to do something with what happens in the teaser.
The official website for The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window anime has released a new promotional video. The anime will debut in October 2021.
The teaser begins with a detective explaining the mysterious circumstances surrounding the murder of three girls. He asks Hiyakawa, an exorcist, to investigate the possibility of “otherworldly” intervention.
We also get introduced to some mysterious characters before Hiyakawa begins to possess Mikado’s body, the main character who can see ghosts.
The website has also released the additional cast for the anime:
| Character | Cast | Other Works |
| Keita Mukae | Soma Saito | Vinegar Doppio (Jojo’s Bizzare Adventure: Golden Wind) |
| Erika Hiura | Chika Anzai | Hanabi Yasuraoka (Scum’s Wish) |
| Hiroki Hanazawa | Satoshi Mikami | Fanzell Krugar (Black Clover) |
| Kazuomi Sakaki | Junichi Suwabe | Archer (Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works) |
Given the overall creepy vibe of the teaser and the story, the anime might not cower from taking things too far with some explicit scenes. If you aren’t into that, this might not be for you.
If you do not mind some disturbing imagery and are into this unique detective dynamic, keep your tabs on The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window.
