Nue’s Exorcist Finally Gets Its Long‑Awaited Anime Adaptation

It’s been a wild three‑year ride since Nue’s Exorcist first appeared in Shueisha’s Weekly Shōnen Jump. Fans have watched the series grow, debated the next power‑up, and—most of all—kept hoping the story would jump off the page and onto the screen.

That hope finally got a solid pat on the back at the recent Jump Press event. The publisher rolled out a slick first‑look trailer, a striking poster, and a handful of production details that confirm the manga will become an anime sometime next summer.

Mark your calendars for summer 2027, because that’s when Studio Hibari plans to roll out the first episode. Hiroyuki Hashimoto, known for his work on several shōnen titles, is stepping behind the director’s chair. The scripts will be handled by Hiroshi Seko, while Shunpei Mochizuki is in charge of character design. Takayuki Yamaguchi will oversee sound, and the music will be crafted by the talented team at MONACA.

The announcement also introduced the first three voice actors. Kaito Miura will bring Gakuro Yajima to life, Saori Onishi is set to voice the mysterious Nue herself, and Sayumi Suzushiro will play Kazusa Suo. More cast members are expected to be revealed at the upcoming Jump Festa 2027, so keep an eye on that.

Why does this matter? For one, the manga now has enough material—three full years of arcs, a colorful cast, and plenty of transformations—to make a proper adaptation without scrambling. The series blends classic exorcist action with a dash of romance and a solid dose of shōnen spirit, which could make it the next big hit from Jump.

Rumors about an anime started swirling earlier this month when a new website domain popped up for the franchise, but the recent trailer put those whispers to rest. It’s a relief for anyone who’s been counting the days for a moving‑picture version of Gakuro’s frantic battles against the titular Nue.

So, are you excited to finally see the exorcists in motion? Which scene from the manga are you hoping the animators will bring to life first? Drop your thoughts in the comments—this is just the beginning of what could be a stellar summer for shōnen anime lovers.
