Writers for the Japanese website Omocoro picked manga they think will eventually be adapted into anime, in a November 12, 2026 feature from the site's Bros section. The article is a list of personal recommendations and does not report any adaptation announcement.
It is the second installment of the feature, following an earlier Omocoro article with the same premise. Each pick comes with a short write-up from the writer who chose it.
One writer chose Grappler Baki Gaiden. They note that the Baki series has been animated for Netflix in stages, from the death row convicts arc onward, and they hope the spin-off follows. The spin-off depicts a match between two pro wrestlers from the main series. According to the writer, the pair are modeled on Giant Baba and Antonio Inoki.
Red Blue (Shonen Sunday Comics) is a fighting manga with a gloomy, clingy protagonist. He takes up combat sports because he wants to land one punch on a popular classmate with a natural talent for fighting. His finishing move is the triangle choke. The writer notes that the series already has a drama adaptation and thinks an anime may come soon.
Other picks include:
- Mahōi Rekusu no Hentai Karute (Bunch Comics): a fantasy series about a doctor who resolves sexual troubles, and the many perverts around him. The writer especially wants to see its battle scenes animated.
- Akumade Kujaku no Hanashi Desu. (Comic DAYS Comics): a romantic comedy about a capable high school girl who uses biology to argue her way through every kind of romance.
- Tōkyō Nyūsei Kanrikyoku (MeDu Comics): a crime, suspense and action series about a secret organization that cracks down on illegal extraterrestrials. The writer suggests every scene could be costly to animate, partly because the agency's building looks like a Menger sponge, but still wants to see it.
- Heiwa no Kuni no Shimazaki e (Morning Comics): the writer describes it as Sakamoto Days without the Jump flavor, with Middle East war, a sense of helplessness and Asian cooking added. They recommend it to fans of stories about a seemingly ordinary person who turns out to be a veteran super-soldier.
