A new TV anime is joining the “period mystery + supernatural powers” lineup—and it already looks stunning. Iwamoto Senpai no Suisen（岩元先輩ノ推薦） has been officially announced for a TV anime, with a teaser visual, the first PV, and a full reveal of its main cast and key staff. If you want the quick story hook and the voice-actor details (with character flavor), here’s what’s confirmed so far. 🔥🌺
A TV anime adaptation is officially underway
The TV anime adaptation of Iwamoto Senpai no Suisen（岩元先輩ノ推薦） has been announced, alongside a teaser visual and PV 1. New stills were also released, and the original creator shared a celebration illustration and message as part of the announcement rollout.
A 1910s Japan mystery powered by “recommendations”
The story is set in Japan in the 1910s. At the center is Kodo Iwamoto, a student at Suhou Middle School, a military-linked institution that collects and studies supernatural phenomena. Under official orders, Iwamoto travels across the country to investigate strange cases and “recommend” ability users to the school.
That setup gives the series a satisfying mission-by-mission structure, but it’s not just about cool powers. Each case brings a new person with a complicated background, and Iwamoto’s role becomes a mix of duty, compassion, and hard choices—exactly the kind of tone the teaser visual hints at.
PV 1 teases fire, flowers, and unseen powers
The teaser visual places Iwamoto alone amid red spider lilies, with a sense of beauty and danger in the same frame. PV 1 expands the mood: stern narration, harsh landscapes, and a clear promise that supernatural phenomena—and the people tied to them—will shape a dramatic, emotional ride.

Meet the main cast and their character highlights
Kodo Iwamoto: Taito Ban
Iwamoto is described as calm and deeply caring, admired by his juniors—but still very much a middle schooler who struggles, doubts, and grows. The role asks for quiet strength and emotional honesty, especially as his “recommendation” mission pulls him into other people’s pain.
Kai Haramachi: Yuki Sakakihara
Haramachi is the bright, noisy junior who’s more dependable than he first appears. He’s the kind of character who can add warmth and momentum to tense scenes, helping the historical setting feel lived-in rather than distant.
Soichiro Amau: Kento Ito
Amau is a student who tends to be absent from school, and Iwamoto keeps a close eye on him. His presence hints at a more fragile, introspective side of the story—one that could hit hard once the series starts layering secrets and consequences.
