An adaptation of Kazuyuki Tanaka's manga "Junket Bank" will be produced as a TV anime and will premiere in October 2026. The series is being created at Studio CUE under the direction of Seiji Kishi (known for "Angel Beats!" and "Tsuki ga Kirei"). Makoto Fukami (among others, "Tengoku Daimakyo") is responsible for the series composition, while Masanori Shino ("JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Stone Ocean") designs the characters and Taku Iwasaki ("The Irregular at Magic High School") composes the music.
The main roles are cast with Soma Saito as the enigmatic gambler Shin Mafutsu and Rikuya Yasuda as the new bank employee Akira Mitarai. Tanaka's manga has been serialized in Shueisha's "Weekly Young Jump" magazine since July 2020. The story follows the junior banker Mitarai, who is unexpectedly transferred to a dubious department and discovers that his bank secretly operates an underground gambling den. In this world of risky bets, he encounters the extraordinary gambler Mafutsu, whose fascination leads him to leave his orderly life behind and plunge into the life-threatening world of gambling.
A first key visual was also released with the announcement, showing Shin Mafutsu at a casino table. The 21st collected volume of the original will be released on March 18, 2026.
