Overview
Nue's Exorcist (Japanese title Nue no Onmyoji) is a manga by Kota Kawae, serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump since 2023. According to Anime News Network, volume 16 came out in Japan on September 4, 2026; Viz Media publishes the English edition, with volume 8 released on September 1, 2026, and Shueisha's MANGA Plus also carries the series.
OtaHub's take
The protagonist, Gakuro Yajima, has been able to see spirits since childhood. At Kita High he stumbles into a room nobody knows about, where Nue, a spirit who loves subculture, was sealed for 60 years according to the anime's official site. According to Anime News Network, Gakuro only wants to avoid spirits, but Nue asks him to defeat evil spirits at his school.
On October 12, 2026, the series was announced for a TV anime airing on the TV Asahi network in summer 2027. Studio Hibari makes the animation, Hiroyuki Hashimoto directs and Hiroshi Seko handles series composition. Kaito Miura voices Gakuro, Saori Onishi voices Nue and Sayumi Suzushiro voices Kazusa Suo.
Verdict
this suits readers who like supernatural shonen with a protagonist who can see spirits. The anime has no specific air date or streaming platform outside Japan yet, so you can read the manga on MANGA Plus while you wait.
