The TV anime adaptation of Shun Numa's manga "Chōjun! Chōjō Senpai" (English title: "Super Psychic Policeman Chojo") will premiere in October 2026. As now announced, it will air in the new anime block "Hianibal!!" on the Fuji TV network.
Alongside the launch date, the first character designs for the two main characters have been revealed. The focus is on Police Sergeant Meguru Chōjō, who serves at the run-down police box "Nishikōban" in the entertainment district "Chinjuku." Although Chōjō possesses supernatural abilities, he is known for his problematic behavior: he pursues his hobbies, often plays with children instead of working, and is generally considered work-shy.
His partner is the rookie Nao Ippongi. She is characterized by outstanding judo skills and a strong sense of justice. However, her friendly and always smiling demeanor belies her fiery temper – anyone who angers her quickly faces a throwing technique. Her nickname is "Gorilla."
The manga, billed as a "supernatural police comedy," revolves around the unusual duo and their assignments in the red-light district of Chinjuku. Shun'ichi Yamamoto directs. Hayashi Mori is in charge of series composition and script. The animation is produced by Studio Arvo Animation.
The broadcast begins in October 2026. The series will then air on Tuesdays at 23:00 on Fuji TV and other stations in the nationwide network.
