The anime “Sono Keisatsukan, Tokidoki Yajū!” was canceled four months after its announcement. The manga will resume under a new label.

An update on August 4th to the official website of Sono Keisatsukan, Tokidoki Yajū!, which had previously been slated for a TV anime adaptation, announced that the project has been “cancelled.” Although the anime adaptation was announced just four months ago on March 27th of this year, the project’s abrupt cancellation marks an unusual turn of events.

“Thank you for your continued support of Sono Keisatsukan, Tokidoki Yajū!. We had been moving forward with production of the TV anime for broadcast in 2025, but due to various circumstances, we have decided to cancel the project. We sincerely apologize to all the fans who were looking forward to it and to everyone involved who supported us.”

The story follows Hiyori, an ordinary office worker living in a peaceful town, who ends up breaking her arm after getting caught in an unexpected accident. Kumano, a police officer who happens to be at the scene, feels responsible and decides to move in with her to help out. Hiyori feels safe with the dependable officer—until the usually serious and capable policeman suddenly loses control in a wild outburst?

The original manga is currently serialized under Ichijinsha’s digital label “LOVEBITES,” but following the anime’s cancellation, the author, Sigma Torai, announced via their official X account that the series will be restarting under a new label. The serialization under Ichijinsha’s “LOVEBITES” concludes with Chapter 50, and from Chapter 51 onward, the story will continue under the new title Sequel: That Policeman is Sometimes a Beast! via Oakla Publishing’s “Minty” platform, starting on the 22nd.

Torai commented: “I sincerely apologize for the confusion caused by these changes. I will continue to craft the story with care, and I’d be grateful for your continued support. Thank you very much, as always!”
