The anime will adapt the web manga by Nakashima723, serialized on Leed Publishing's Comic Border website. The manga is based on a light novel written by Rocket Shoukai.
Manga Planet, the official English licensor for the manga, describes the plot as:
In an alternate 21st century, rich mafia members can turn into "Demon Kings" through increasingly popular ether-enhancement surgery, and the bounty hunters called "Braves" are the ones called upon to take them down. Yashiro only wants the simple pleasures in life - pizza, beer, and card games. When three young Braves offer him a majestic sum to be their private tutor, he agrees solely for the money - but is it worth what he's getting himself into?
