What is Nue's Exorcist about?
Gakuro Yajima has been able to see supernatural beings called Genyo since childhood. At Kita High, he discovers a room nobody knows about. Nue, a being with the appearance of a woman, has been sealed there for 60 years, waiting for someone to find her.
The encounter begins Gakuro's journey as an exorcist. Nue adds an unexpected contrast to the supernatural story: she has an eccentric personality and a love of pop culture. The manga combines exorcism with comedy and school life, as described on Viz's series page.
The manga began in Weekly Shonen Jump in May 2023. You can visit Viz's official chapter page, which directs readers to Shueisha's MANGA Plus for free chapters in their location, or the English manga page to browse published volumes.
Which staff and cast members have been announced?
The official anime site lists Hiroshi Seko for series composition, Shunpei Mochizuki for character design, Takayuki Yamaguchi as sound director and MONACA for music. These confirmed roles accompany the studio and director listed above.
The first three announced cast members are Kaito Miura as Gakuro Yajima, Saori Onishi as Nue and Sayumi Suzushiro as Kazusa Suo. Miura says this is his first role as an anime protagonist. Fujino Yoha and Tomesode Shino also appear on the site, with their actors listed as coming soon.
Where will it air, and is there a teaser?
The October 12 announcement confirms a summer 2027 broadcast on Japan's TV Asahi network. It does not specify a premiere date, time slot, episode count or viewing platform for Vietnam.
The team has released key art and a short promotional video on the official site. You can watch it there; a Japanese television schedule does not establish a simultaneous international streaming release.
OtaHub's take: Nue brings a comic contrast to the exorcist story
A being sealed away for 60 years sounds like a frightening figure. Nue's love of pop culture puts a comic detail beside that premise. The contrast is a useful part of the story's identity: its encounter with the supernatural takes place at school, among people who also have everyday lives.
