A Certain Magical Index Spin-Off ‘Toaru Anbu no Item’ Anime Reveals New Key

The TV anime adaptation of the A Certain Magical Index spinoff Toaru Anbu no Item has revealed new key art ahead of its October 9, 2026, premiere on TOKYO MX and other stations.

An official web radio program, Toaru Radio no Shoujo Kyousei, has also been announced. Ami Koshimizu, Aya Suzaki, Maaya Uchida, and Chinatsu Akasaki will serve as rotating personalities every other week. They respectively voice Mugino, Takitsubo, Frenda, and Kinuhata in the anime.

The first radio broadcast is scheduled for October 2 at 6 PM JST and will feature all four voice actresses together. Subsequent episodes are scheduled every other Friday.

Roughly translated as A Certain Dark Side Item, the light novel currently has six volumes, while the manga has two volumes released.

Item, consisting of leader Shizuri Mugino, Takitsubo, Frenda, and Saiai Kinuhata, has become a fan-favorite group thanks to their recurring presence across Index and Railgun.

The spinoff explores their early days and sheds light on how the team operates before Shiage Hamazura joins during the mainline series.

Toaru Anbu no Item will premiere as an anime on October 9, 2026.
