The fan-favorite manga Super Psychic Policeman Chojo, created by Shun Numa, is officially being adapted into an anime set to premiere in 2026. Alongside the announcement, the production team unveiled a teaser visual that gives fans their first glimpse into the series’ high-energy and comedic world.

About the Series

Originally debuting as a one-shot in Weekly Shonen Jump in April 2023, Super Psychic Policeman Chojo quickly gained popularity for its quirky characters and offbeat humor. Due to strong fan reception, it was expanded into a full-fledged series in February 2024.

The story follows Ippongi, a rookie police officer assigned to the West Chinjuku Police Station, who finds herself partnered with Chojo—a psychic cop who uses his powers for everything except actual police work. When Ippongi’s family dojo comes under threat from local yakuza, Chojo finally decides to step up, kicking off a wild mix of crime-fighting, comedy, and chaos.

Production Details

Studio Arvo Animation, known for Kowloon Generic Romance, is handling the animation production. The series is directed by Junichi Yamamoto (Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke’s Mansion), with Hayashi Mori (Cells at Work! Code Black) overseeing the script. Masakatsu Sasaki (Tonikaku Kawaii) is designing the characters, ensuring the anime retains the manga’s expressive art style and vibrant energy.

Manga and Global Reach

The original manga is published by Shueisha and serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump, one of Japan’s most prestigious manga magazines. VIZ Media has licensed the series in English, making it accessible to a global audience. The English version’s synopsis teases the lighthearted tone and unpredictable antics that fans can expect from the anime adaptation.

What to Expect

With its blend of supernatural action, police drama, and irreverent comedy, Super Psychic Policeman Chojo is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated anime comedies of 2026. The combination of sharp humor, eccentric characters, and stylish animation could make it a breakout hit among both Shonen Jump readers and new anime audiences.
