The wraparound jacket band on the volumes of Tatsuhiko Hikagi's Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge manga is revealing this week that a television anime adaptation has been green-lit for next spring.

The manga revolves around Kiri Haimura, a boy who loves to cut girls' hair. He happens to meet Iwai Mushanokōji, a girl with long, beautiful hair who is known as the "Queen of Hair." Her hair has been cursed to be forever uncuttable, but Kiri happens to have "Dansai Bunri no Crime Edge" — scissors that have the mystical ability to cut her cursed hair. Kiri finds himself protecting Iwai from descendants of murderers wielding "Killing Goods."

Hikagi launched the manga in Media Factory's Comic Alive magazine in 2009, and Media Factory is publishing the sixth compiled book volume this week.
