The series premiered in japan on January 12, starring Kazuki Namioka as Reigen, Tatsuomi Hamada as Mob, Yuki Yoda as Tsubomi, and Akio Ohtsuka as Dimple.  It was met with a positive reception.  One, the artist also behind the creation of One Punch Man, started the series in april 2012, and adapted part of it in an anime series in July 2016. 

If you are unfamiliar, the story follows an 8th grader name Seigeo Kageyama, who has psychic abilities.  As they grow in power he combats this by suppressing his emotions to the point of not feeling, as he is put in more dangerous situations though, this suppression proves increasingly difficult.
