Shonen Jump’s Most Requested Series Might Be Getting an Anime at Last

by

Fans of Shonen Jump are excited about several manga series that are becoming anime, and it looks like one of the most popular current series in the magazine might finally be getting an anime adaptation. Several franchises have already returned with new seasons this year, and others are making their anime debut, but fans are still hoping for announcements about a few key series. It seems like an announcement for one of these series could happen very soon.

Fans have been asking for an anime adaptation of Takeru Hokazono’s Kagurabachi since before the manga even began, and rumors have circulated since early 2024 that one was in the works. Now, a possible leak – a listing on a social media account noticed by @WSJ_manga on X – suggests the anime announcement may have been revealed ahead of schedule, potentially before any official announcement could be made.

Is Kagurabachi Getting an Anime in 2026?

The Twitter account @kgbc_anime is now online. It’s currently unclear if this is an official account or if any announcements are planned, but we will share updates as we learn more.

Fans recently noticed a social media account called “kgbc_anime” which they believe may have been connected to a potential Kagurabachi anime. The account was created and quickly taken down, leaving many to wonder if it was official or created by a fan. This sparked excitement about a possible anime adaptation, similar to previous hints from production companies. However, there has been no official announcement or confirmation as of yet.

The process of potentially getting an anime adaptation for Kagurabachi is familiar territory for fans and the creators. People have been requesting an anime for a long time, and while this news isn’t a definite confirmation, it feels more likely now. This is because there’s finally enough of the manga completed to realistically begin adapting it into an animated series. The manga itself is currently well into its second story arc, with plenty of content available.

What’s Going on With Kagurabachi?

Having reached 115 chapters, the manga Kagurabachi now has enough content to potentially begin an anime adaptation. The story has completed its first major section, with several full story arcs that could form a complete first season. Starting the anime now would give it a good head start and avoid catching up to the ongoing manga. However, adapting the series won’t be without its challenges.

It’s still a bit early to know for sure – some anime based on manga from Shonen Jump aren’t announced until after the manga finishes – but Kagurabachi is clearly important to the magazine. It’s already been a key part of their future plans, and an anime adaptation would really solidify its success.
