Shonen Jump has been losing one big manga after another, especially last year, with the endings of huge series My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen. The conclusion of these series was unfortunate for both the magazine and fans, as good series have become harder to come by. Thankfully, however, a new manga is rising for Shonen Jump, and it could be getting an anime soon. This series has already amassed a big fanbase and it is none other than Kagurabachi. Reportedly, Kagurabachi is getting an anime adaptation soon enough.

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

Both Series Ended Back To Back

Shonen Jump has been going through a rough time lately. After all, many of its big series have ended or are ending. The biggest examples are Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia. Both of these series were some of the biggest Shonen mangas of their generations, and sadly, they both ended back-to-back. Indeed, both My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen concluded in late 2024, just a few months apart.

This left Shonen Jump in a tough spot, as these two series were some of its best sellers. Jujutsu Kaisen even surpassed One Piece in sales previously, making it even harder to let go.

Things look even worse now, as more big manga series are ending, such as Sakamoto Days and Black Clover. Shonen Jump, however, could possibly have a new hit series, and it’s none other than Kagurabachi.

Kagurabachi Could be Shonen Jump’s Next Big Hit

Rumors Have It An Anime Is in the Works

Kagurabachi is a series that truly came out of nowhere. The series quickly gained fans, both in Japan and globally. Not many expected this manga to go as far as it did. Right now, the manga has hit over 90 chapters, which is a pretty good number, especially if there are plans to adapt it into an anime.

'Kagurabachi Gotta Carry the Entire Shonen Jump Now': Fans Are Worried the Magazine Is Running Out of New Hits

After the announcement that a major Shonen Jump title will soon come to an end, fans are not sure about the future of the magazine.

Indeed, while it’s all just production whispers at the moment, the chances of Kagurabachi getting an anime announcement soon are very high. This anime could be animated by none other than Cyber Agent, a studio that has animated series such as Uma Musume and The Summer Hikaru Died. This studio currently has four secret anime projects, after all. Fans definitely think Kagurabachi could be one of them.
