Shiritomo ANIME counted eight new anime adaptation and film announcements it reported between late September and October 2026, according to a Shiritomo roundup on hashout.jp. Yumenekonekuto was announced two days before the release of its 10th volume, while Vampire Jūjikai was announced 24 years after its manga began.
Shiritomo's editors concluded that volume counts and years in print did not decide the timing. Instead, they said, announcements often followed a trigger such as a manga ending, growing buzz, the same franchise's season finale or an anniversary. Here are the eight titles as the roundup summarizes them:
- Yumenekonekuto (ゆめねこねくと): The TV anime of the Weekly Shonen Magazine manga was announced on October 14. STUDIO MASSKET is producing the animation.
- Nue's Exorcist (Nue no Onmyōji): The TV anime of the Weekly Shonen Jump series was announced on the night of October 12. It is scheduled for summer 2027 on TV Asahi's nationwide network, and Studio Hibari is producing it. Shiritomo cites 16 volumes and a cumulative circulation of 1.6 million copies. It adds that a post, apparently from someone involved with the announcement, said the series ranked first in a 2025 ranking of manga readers want adapted.
- Welcome to Demon School! Iruma-kun: The series' first theatrical anime was announced on September 27 at the fan event DEVIL'S PARTY! 2. The manga began in March 2017 and reaches its 10th serialization anniversary in 2027. Shiritomo puts the original comics' cumulative circulation at 20 million copies.
- Clayman REVENGE: On the night of September 25, when the second cour of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 ended, the official X account announced a TV anime for this official spin-off.
