A new fantasy series is heading to late-night TV in Kanagawa. “Riddle Turns Back Time” (Daikenja Riddle no Jikan Gyakko／大賢者リドルの時間逆行) begins broadcast on TVK (TV Kanagawa) starting April 1, 2026, airing every Wednesday at 21:55 in a 5-minute slot. If you’re planning your watch routine and hoping for streaming news, here are the confirmed details so far and the easiest way to stay updated.
Broadcast start on TVK
“Riddle Turns Back Time” begins on TVK (TV Kanagawa) on Wednesday, April 1, 2026. The weekly slot runs from 21:55 to 22:00 (Japan time).
TVK is a regional station, so reception depends on your setup. For the simplest check, use the station schedule page: TVK schedule page.
A quick weekly format
This is not a standard 24-minute TV block. It is a 5-minute weekly broadcast, so the pacing may feel closer to a short “chapter drop” than a full-length episode.
If you plan to record it, set your recorder to capture the full 21:55–22:00 window to avoid clipping the start or end.
Streaming news has not been posted yet
At this time, online distribution details have not been posted. That includes domestic catch-up services and overseas platforms.
For day-one viewing, TVK is the only confirmed option in the announcement. Additional distribution partners may be shared closer to launch, so it’s best to follow official updates.
Staying ready for launch day
A simple prep plan helps. Add a weekly reminder for Wednesdays at 21:55 (Japan time), then keep an eye on official updates from the publisher and project news posts.
Main cast has been announced: Junya Enoki voices Riddle, and Azusa Tadokoro voices Norn. If you like going in prepared, reading the original comic first can make the short weekly format land even better.
Original comic reading options
The original full-color comic is published under Shogakukan’s Seed Comics line (scenario by Neko-ko, composition & line art by Nitaka Ichi). A reliable starting point is Shogakukan’s official digital page: Shogakukan digital page.
