Nue’s Exorcist Anime: Story and Release Date
Based on the manga by Kota Kawae, Nue’s Exorcist will make its television debut in summer 2027. The original manga has been serialized in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump since May 2023.
The story follows Gakuro Yajima, a high school student who has been able to see supernatural beings known as spirits since childhood. His life takes an unexpected turn when he discovers a hidden room at North High that nobody else seems to know about.
Inside, he encounters Nue, a mysterious female spirit with a strong interest in subculture who has been waiting for someone to discover her hiding place. Their meeting sets Gakuro on a new path filled with supernatural encounters and unexpected challenges.
Combining dark fantasy with school life, the series explores Gakuro’s changing circumstances following his encounter with Nue.
Kaito Miura, Saori Onishi and Sayumi Suzushiro Lead the Cast

Miura revealed that he was already following the original manga before auditioning for the anime. He said he was delighted to learn that he had secured the role, which marks his first time voicing the protagonist of an anime series. He hopes to develop alongside Gakuro and introduce the story’s appeal to a wide audience.
Onishi initially viewed Nue as a cool and elegant character. However, she said that working on the role helped her discover different sides of the character that could not be captured by a single description.
Suzushiro described Kazusa as a reliable figure who helps guide Gakuro and the others forward. She also highlighted the character’s combat abilities, her concern for her companions and her occasionally adorable personality.
Character visuals have also been revealed for Gakuro, Nue, Kazusa Suo, Shiroha Fujino and Shitotsu Tomesode.

Nue’s Exorcist Production Team and Creator’s Comments
Hiroyuki Hashimoto will direct the anime, with Hiroshi Seko overseeing series composition and Shunpei Mochizuki responsible for character design. Takayuki Yamaguchi is serving as sound director, while Keiichi Okabe of MONACA is composing the music. Studio HIBARI is handling animation production.
Hashimoto said the characters left a particularly strong impression on him when he read the manga. He explained that the team intends to preserve the original work’s atmosphere while highlighting both the characters’ appealing personalities and the intensity of its action scenes.
Original creator Kota Kawae thanked readers for supporting the manga and helping make the anime adaptation possible. He also expressed excitement about Hashimoto directing the project, noting that the director’s previous anime work had supported him during his time as a company employee.
