The shōnen manga Kagurabachi had a rocket launch. Some anime fans posted numerous memes when the manga had only published a few chapters. After the manga broke several personal records, now comes what is probably the biggest success for the story.
What milestones has Kagurabachi already achieved? Kagurabachi is published by the same publisher that is also responsible for the release of One Piece, Dragon Ball Super and Boruto. In its early release phase, Kagurabachi was already popular with many fans:
The manga has celebrated several milestones since its release, so it’s hardly surprising what the Shueisha publishing house has now decided to do.
Unfortunately, there are no official videos for Kagurabachi, but Naruto follows the same line as the Shōnen manga:

Kagurabachi gets its own anime
What’s next? As AnimeTsumi on X reports, Shueisha has filed a trademark for Kagurabachi to use it in “animation productions” and “pre-recorded media and video files that have animated content.” The trademark was filed in late 2023 (via Chizai Watch).
As the X-User reports, this process is standard for anime. Oshi no Ko, Kaiju No. 8 and other anime also went through this process.
When could the anime be released? For comparable series like Sakamoto Days and Dandadan, it would have taken around three to four years from submission to the release of the anime. For Kaiju No.8, another very good anime, it also took four years.
Therefore, we assume that we will not see Kagurabachi until 2028. The anime may not even be in production at this point. Therefore, it may be some time before we can watch the anime.
According to this, Kagurabachi could fill the gap left by Demon Slayer and My Hero Academia, two other representatives of the shōnen genre. Demon Slayer will not have a fifth season, but there will be three separate films.
The last manga chapter of My Hero Academia will be released on August 5, 2024 (via ComicBook). Accordingly, the anime will also end in the coming months or years. Until Kagurabachi starts, there could also be a small gap that you can fill with the following anime: The best anime of all time – This is what our editorial team is watching
