A Supernatural Comedy is Getting Animated!

Get ready for some spooky fun because the popular manga Ushiro no Shoumen Kamui-san is officially getting a TV anime adaptation! The announcement came straight from Shogakukan, revealing that the series is slated to premiere in the Summer of 2026. Fans of the quirky supernatural series have been waiting for this news, and the wait now has a definitive end date.

What’s This Anime All About?

The story follows Shizuka, a high school girl who just wants a normal life. There’s just one problem: she can see ghosts, and her unique ability makes her a magnet for all sorts of spectral trouble. To manage her “gift,” she ends up working as an assistant to the famous psychic, Kamui. While Kamui boasts top-tier exorcism skills, his methods are… let’s just say, unconventional. This odd-couple dynamic drives a series full of supernatural antics and comedy.

About the Source Material

The manga, also known informally as Kamui-san Who Sits Behind Me, first appeared in March 2020, serialized on Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday and MangaONE platforms. Created by the duo Eroki and Yayoi Karasuma, the series has been a steady success, with its 11th volume released in August 2025. The 12th volume is already set to hit shelves on February 19, keeping the momentum going strong for existing fans. Surpassing 1 million copies in circulation is a solid milestone that highlights the story’s popularity and likely fueled the decision to greenlight the anime.

What’s Next?

While the core staff, studio, and voice cast details are still under wraps, the announcement alone is huge news for the fanbase. With a premiere window two years out, there’s plenty of time for more reveals and teasers to build excitement.
