Kouta Kawae’s Nue no Onmyouji is officially making the jump from manga pages to TV anime.
The announcement came during the sixth Jump Press livestream event, where the team confirmed that Nue no Onmyouji — also known in English as Nue’s Exorcist — will receive a television anime adaptation. The series is currently scheduled to air on TV Asahi in Summer 2027.
Alongside the reveal, the livestream also showed off a teaser visual and an announcement promotional video, giving fans their first proper signal that the project is moving beyond rumours and wishlists. For manga readers who have been following this one, that’s the big checkpoint: the anime is real, dated for a season, and already has early promo material attached.
The first cast names have also been confirmed. Saori Oonishi, known for roles including Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?, will voice Nue. Kaito Miura, who appears in Tougen Anki, is cast as Gakurou Yajima. Sayumi Suzushiro, whose credits include The Café Terrace and Its Goddesses, will voice Kazusa Suou.
For now, those are the key names from the announcement. The source material also mentions that staff details were revealed, but the provided text does not include the actual staff list, so we’re not going to simply guess or fill in blanks. Better to wait for the full production credits before judging the adaptation team properly.
What is Nue no Onmyouji?
Based on the available announcement, Nue no Onmyouji is Kouta Kawae’s manga, with the anime carrying the English title Nue’s Exorcist. The title alone points toward supernatural and exorcist-flavoured action, but again, the source text here focuses on the adaptation news rather than a full plot breakdown.
Still, the Jump connection is the thing to watch. When a Jump manga gets an anime, it can change the conversation around the series very quickly — especially if the adaptation lands with strong animation, a good voice cast, and enough momentum to pull in viewers who never touched the manga.
Why Malaysia and SEA anime fans should keep an eye on it
Analysis/inference: For Malaysia and SEA viewers, this matters because Jump anime adaptations often become part of the wider seasonal anime conversation, even before official regional streaming details are confirmed. If the promo campaign keeps building over 2026 and 2027, expect this title to start popping up more often in anime circles, recommendation threads, and watchlist discussions.
That said, let’s be clear: the current announcement only confirms the Japanese TV broadcast plan on TV Asahi for Summer 2027. The source does not mention Malaysia availability, SEA streaming platforms, cinema events, local screenings, or licensing details. So for now, this is one to bookmark rather than assume where it will stream.
Summer 2027 is still quite far away, but the early cast reveal suggests the project is already being positioned properly. If you’re into supernatural action series and like tracking manga-to-anime jumps before they become mainstream, Nue no Onmyouji is worth putting on the radar now.
