Sakuratani licensed the manga and published the seventh volume in English on February 18.

Viz describes the story:

Keiji is more than just an ordinary rooster—he's humanity's greatest defender! His opponents may be ten stories tall, but nothing is bigger than his stout heart and his fearsome battle cry—Kokekokko!

Sola Entertainment are producing.

The anime will star Shiori Izawa as Piyoko.

Viz is the representative for the anime's worldwide streaming, television broadcast, electronic sell-through (EST), home video, and merchandising outside of Japan. Adult Swim will air the anime, and Viz will reveal additional streaming partners at a later date.

This year's Anime NYC has expanded to a four-day event (Thursday to Sunday) for the first time, on August 21-24 at the Javits Center.

Anime NYC moved to August, and used the full main building of the Javits Center for the first time. (The event was online only in 2020.)
