The series will premiere on NTV on April 7.

The manga centers around Teruasa Oda, a high school senior gifted in smarts, looks, and money. This seemingly perfect scion of Japan's powerful Oda Group gets caught in a nightmarish game with the son of the Belmont mafia family's boss.

Shōtarō Mamiya (live-action Tokyo Revengers movies' Tetta Kisaki, Blue Giant's Yukinori Sawabe) stars in the series as Teruasa Oda. SixTONES member Juri Tanaka plays Ui Saitō, Oda's childhood friend from middle school. Kotone Furukawa plays Yūki Manabe.

Tōya Satō, Shunsuke Kariyama, and Kento Matsuda are directing the series, with scripts by Yoshihiro Izumi and Junichirō Taniguchi. Yūgo Kanno is composing the music.

Artist Megumi and story creator Meebu launched the manga in Kodansha's Weekly Shōnen Magazine in April 2013, and ended it with the 22nd volume in April 2017. Kodansha's K MANGA service offers the manga in English.

Kodansha USA published all 11 volumes of Megumi's Bloody Monday manga. Megumi drew the Bloody Monday Season 2: Pandora no Hako and Bloody Monday: Last Season sequels.
