The official website of the light novel series Kyoukai no Kanata has been updated to include information that an anime adaptation by Kyoto Animation will be out later this year. A small commercial video was released last year by Kyoto to promote the light novels, but it seems a full animated series will also be coming.
Kyoukai no Kanata received an honourable mention at the Kyoto Animation Award program in 2011 (similar to how Chuunibyou demo koi ga Shitai! received an honourable mention in 2010 and an anime adaptation last year). The first volume of the light novel was released last year and the second volume is set to release next week. Here is a synopsis of the novel:
The dark fantasy follows a high school sophomore named Akihito Kanbara. Although the boy appears human, he is half youmu and invulnerable to wounds because he can heal quickly. One day, Akihito meets freshman Mirai Kuriyama when it seems she is about to jump from the school rooftop. Mirai is isolated because of her ability to manipulate blood, which is unique even among members of the spirit world. Disturbing events begin to unfold after Akihito saves Mirai.
Kyoukai no Kanata is set to release later this year.
