Shonen Jump’s Official Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia Successor Is Getting An Anime Soon

It seems that Shonen Jump has been experiencing a steady loss of popular manga titles, notably last year with the conclusion of prominent series such as My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen. These endings were disappointing for both the magazine and its fans, as finding high-quality series has become more challenging. However, there’s a silver lining: a new manga is gaining momentum for Shonen Jump, and it might be getting an anime adaptation soon. This up-and-coming series boasts a growing fanbase and goes by the name of Kagurabachi. Reports suggest that an anime adaptation of Kagurabachi is on its way soon.

Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia’s Ending Left a Huge Gap in the Manga Industry

Both Series Ended Back To Back

Lately, Shonen Jump has been facing some tough times since several of its major series are wrapping up or have wrapped up. Key examples include Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia. These two were among the most popular Shonen mangas in their respective eras, but unfortunately, they ended one after another towards the end of 2024, only a few months apart.

These developments have put Shonen Jump in a challenging position, as these two series are among its top-performing titles. Notably, “Jujutsu Kaisen” has already outstripped the sales of “One Piece”, adding to the difficulty of relinquishing them.

The situation seems to be deteriorating further, given that popular manga series like Sakamoto Days and Black Clover are wrapping up. Yet, there’s a potential bright spot on the horizon from Shonen Jump: it’s none other than Kagurabachi.

Kagurabachi Could be Shonen Jump’s Next Big Hit

Rumors Have It An Anime Is in the Works

Unexpectedly, I found myself captivated by the allure of “Kagurabachi.” What started as an unanticipated read swiftly transformed into a favorite among readers, both domestically and internationally. Few could have predicted its meteoric rise. At this moment, the manga has surpassed 90 chapters, a significant milestone, particularly considering potential future adaptations into anime.

It appears that there’s a strong possibility that the popular manga “Kagurabachi” may soon receive an anime adaptation, with Cyber Agent, known for producing series like “Uma Musume” and “The Summer Hikaru Died”, being a likely contender. Interestingly, Cyber Agent is also working on four secret anime projects at the moment, which has sparked speculation among fans that “Kagurabachi” could be one of them.
