Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku spans a total of 127 chapters

Hell’s Paradise: Jigokuraku is a dark fantasy manga series written by Yuji Kaku. Set during the Edo period of Japan, the story revolves around a number of death-row convicts and the Yamada Asaemon executioners assigned to them, as the group travels to a mysterious island believed to contain the elixir of life. The protagonist of the series is the Iwagakure spy Gabimaru, whose superhuman body and love for his wife make him almost impossible to kill.

Accompanied by his executioner Sagiri, Gabimaru sets off with the other chosen convicts in search of the elixir of life, which will be the price of a pardon from the Shogunate and his only chance to return to his beloved wife. The manga spans a total of 127 chapters, published in thirteen volumes. Considering the complexity of the plot and the themes explored in the series, the anime adaptation will likely run for at least two seasons, if not more.

The anime, confirmed to be in production under Twin Engine, will be animated by none other than Studio MAPPA. The studio released the first key visual featuring Gabimaru and Sagiri during the Jump RED stage event at Jump Festa 2022. A promotional video for the upcoming anime was also revealed during the same event.
