The chaotic and comedic world of Super Psychic Policeman Chojo is officially heading to television. The beloved manga by Shun Numa, serialized in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2024 to 2025, has been greenlit for a TV anime adaptation set to air in 2026. Fans can expect an outrageous blend of psychic abilities, slapstick humor, and high-energy police escapades as Chojo and his partner Ippongi bring their unorthodox law enforcement style to life.

The Team Behind the Adaptation

The anime will be directed by Junichi Yamamoto (Armor Shop for Ladies & Gentlemen, More Than a Married Couple, But Not Lovers) at Arvo Animation. Series composition and scripts will be handled by Hayashi Mori, while Masakatsu Sasaki, known for his clean and expressive designs, takes charge of character art.

Alongside the official announcement, the studio released a teaser visual showing Chojo effortlessly levitating his partner Ippongi using telekinetic powers—while she scrambles to keep her skirt from flipping, perfectly capturing the series’ signature humor.

Author Shun Numa also shared celebratory artwork featuring the dynamic duo flashing peace signs, surrounded by miniature versions of the supporting cast—a fittingly chaotic tribute for the series’ anime debut.

The Story: Chaos Meets Comedy

Super Psychic Policeman Chojo follows Ippongi, a rookie cop starting her first day at the West Chinjuku Police Station. To her horror, she’s paired with Chojo, a psychic officer who uses his telekinetic powers for everything—except actual police work. Lazy yet incredibly powerful, Chojo is the department’s most unpredictable member, known for bending the rules of both physics and procedure.

But when Ippongi’s family dojo is threatened by the yakuza, Chojo finally decides to take things seriously. What follows is a hilarious whirlwind of crime-fighting, bizarre psychic stunts, and unexpected friendship as the two blunder their way through a string of high-stakes cases.

The manga’s mix of sharp comedy, heartfelt moments, and supernatural action quickly made it a fan favorite, earning praise for its balance of humor and emotion—something the anime aims to capture with cinematic flair.

From Page to Screen

Originally published by Shueisha, Super Psychic Policeman Chojo ran for 8 volumes and developed a loyal global following. The English version, released by VIZ Manga, helped the series reach a wider audience with its witty dialogue and dynamic art style.

The upcoming anime is expected to bring those pages to life with vibrant animation, stylish effects for Chojo’s psychic powers, and voice performances that match the series’ comedic chemistry. With the creative team’s experience and the manga’s strong foundation, this adaptation is shaping up to be one of 2026’s standout comedy releases.

Fans can look forward to more details in the coming months, including casting announcements, theme songs, and streaming platform availability.
