According to Kodansha USA, the plot of "The Fable" is described as follows: "When you’re the infamous “genius killer” hitman The Fable, many things come easy. Being a normal person, however, isn’t one of them. In fact, being told that he can’t kill anyone for a while may just be the hardest job he’s ever taken…"

The highly-anticipated anime adaptation of "The Fable" will be produced by Tezuka Productions, bringing the captivating manga to life on screen. Leading the creative team is director Ryosuke Takahashi, known for his work on "Soukou Kihei Votoms: Koei Futatabi." Overseeing the series composition is Yuuya Takashima, whose previous work includes "Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch of Mercury" as a sci-fi researcher. The character designs will be crafted by a talented trio, including Kyuma Oshita, Saki Hasegawa (known for "Aoashi"), and Junichi Hayama (previously worked on "pet").
