Rumiko Takahashi’s ‘Mao’ Sets Hulu, Disney+ Premiere as Viz Media Lands Rights

Viz Media has picked up North American and select international streaming rights to the anime adaptation of Rumiko Takahashi’s “Mao,” with the series launching April 4 on Hulu in the U.S. and on Disney+ across Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Latin America.

The series premieres the same day on NHK General TV in Japan, where Hulu Japan will also stream it from April 5. The show is slated for a continuous two-cour run without a midseason break.

The anime adaptation, produced by Sunrise and announced last July by Bandai Namco Filmworks, arrives as part of the broader celebration of publisher Shogakukan’s centenary. Takahashi launched “Mao” in Shogakukan’s Weekly Shōnen Sunday in May 2019, and the manga has reached 27 compiled volumes as of February 2026. Viz Media, which has held the English-language North American manga license since 2021, began releasing simultaneous English chapters alongside the Japanese publication in May 2023.

A dark supernatural fantasy spanning two eras, “Mao” follows Nanoka Kiba, a junior high student who is hurled back to Japan’s Taisho period after revisiting the shopping arcade where she survived a mysterious childhood accident eight years earlier. There she encounters Mao, a brooding onmyoji mystic who has spent nine centuries under a life-altering curse, and whose probing questions force Nanoka to see her own strange existence in an entirely new light. The two form an uneasy alliance as they take on the dark forces entangled with both their fates.

Takahashi is one of manga’s most decorated and commercially dominant figures, with “Urusei Yatsura,” “Ranma ½,” “Maison Ikkoku” and “Inuyasha” among her signature works. She has won the Shogakukan Manga Award twice – for “Urusei Yatsura” in 1981 and for “Inuyasha” in 2002 – and is an inductee of the Eisner Award Hall of Fame. Much of her canon has been adapted into anime, live-action series and film, and her body of work has come to be known collectively as the “Rumic World.”

Teruo Sato, who previously directed “Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon” Season 1, helms the new series, with series composition by Yuko Kakihara and character design and chief animation direction by Yoshihito Hishinuma, another “Yashahime” and “Inuyasha” veteran. Further key credits include art direction by Hiroshi Kato and Izumi Hoki, color design by Masumi Otsuka, CG direction by Tomohiro Fujie, photography direction by Akane Fushihara, editing by Kazuhiro Nii, sound direction by Hiromi Kikuta and music by Shu Kanematsu. The series is a production of the Mao Production Committee.

Boy band Kis-My-Ft2 perform the opening theme “Heartloud,” with True performing the ending theme “Juai” (Cursed Love).

Yuki Kaji voices the title character Mao, with Natsumi Kawaida as Nanoka Kiba. The supporting cast includes Hiro Shimono as Hyakka, Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Kamon, Momoka Terasawa as Otoya, Kazuyuki Okitsu as Shiranui, Motoko Kumai as Funa Uozumi, Yoko Hikasa as Tenko, Risa Shimizu as Sana, Reina Ueda as Yurako and Takashi Matsuyama as Byoki.

Viz Media’s rights cover TV, home video, electronic sell-through and video-on-demand across North America, Latin America and Australia/New Zealand.

Produced by WIT Studio, THE ONE PIECE is a brand new anime adaptation starting from the original manga’s East Blue saga. Separate from the TV anime series that has charged full speed ahead over the course of more than 25 years, this series taps into the expressive potential of modern technology to offer a familiar yet fresh take on the adventures of Luffy.
