With the conclusion of big-name titles like My Hero Academia, Jujutsu Kaisen, and Oshi no Ko, Shueisha has been on the lookout for a worthy successor. Presently, there are two new-generation titles that are being teed up to be the next big hit from Shonen Jump. These are Kagurabachi and Ichi the Witch. But there is a good chance that Shueisha has found another manga that could be just as successful.

  • Someone Hertz is a new Shonen Jump manga
  • The series is sold out on Amazon

Recently, it was revealed that the first volume of Someone Hertz is out of stock on Amazon. What makes things even more incredible is that the first volume is set to release on January 5th, 2026. The surge in pre-orders indicates that the manga's popularity is on the rise. With the first being sold out everywhere, more people will be intrigued by the series and will want to know what the fuss is about. So, it's great publicity as well. Considering the manga began in September 2025, it's quite surprising that the series has become so popular.

What Is Someone Hertz About?

People who are interested in the manga will want to know the synopsis, and they can do so by going through the paragraph below.

Someone Hertz follows the story of Mimei, an unfunny guy, and Kurage, a high school girl who is rather humorous. Mimei hosts a radio show, and Kurage often sends in hilarious comments, which are then read by the former. This leads to Mimei having an overwhelming desire to be just like Kurage and leads to the start of a rather interesting relationship.

Someone Hertz Will Be Next In Line To Receive An Anime Adaptation

It's still early, but there is no denying that the manga will receive an anime adaptation at one point or another. The studios will wait until the manga has released enough chapters that can be adapted into an anime before making a decision on who is going to produce it.

Before Someone Hertz, other Shonen Jump manga will receive an anime adaptation. Currently, Kagurabachi is at the top of the list, followed by Ichi the Witch. Both manga are performing well and selling millions of copies, which is a great sign. However, the numbers can be significantly increased with the help of an anime adaptation.

So, the studios shouldn't wait for too long to begin work on either Kagurabachi or Ichi the Witch. At the moment, there is no information regarding this particular topic, but hopefully that will change soon.
