With the continuous growth of the anime industry, fans eagerly await the next wave of adaptations. Although many manga debut each year, only those that create a major buzz and attract large fanbases get the chance to be turned into anime.
Below are four of the best manga that are highly likely to be adapted into anime soon, with fans hoping for announcements at Jump Festa:
4. Phantom Busters
Launched in August 2023, Phantom Busters follows Eugene, a high school student who doesn’t believe in ghosts. He then meets Mogari, a young man from a line of sorcerers, who invites him to join an exorcism club. While there are no confirmed anime rumors yet, Phantom Busters being featured in the Jump Station (Green) section at Jump Festa 2026 is a promising sign.
3. Marriagetoxin
Marriagetoxin centers on Gero, an assassin from a centuries-old family. He lives in the shadows and doesn’t believe in marriage until his clan demands he marry and have an heir. Forced to seek help from a marriage scammer, Marriagetoxin has sparked anime rumors after its domain was registered. Several unofficial news accounts have shared this info, leading many to expect a major announcement at Jump Festa 2026.
2. Gokurakugai
Debuting in 2022, Gokurakugai is a supernatural action series set in Paradise District. Though it seems peaceful, the district is filled with strange creatures. The story follows Tao and Alma, a detective duo solving cases involving these mysterious beings. As one of Jump SQ’s best manga, Gokurakugai is a strong candidate for an anime announcement at Jump Festa 2026.
1. Kagurabachi
When discussing manga likely to get anime adaptations, Kagurabachi cannot be overlooked. It tells the story of Chihiro Rokuhira, son of a legendary swordsmith who loses everything after his father is murdered and magical swords are stolen. Armed with the sword Enten, Chihiro vows revenge and to recover the lost blades.
Kagurabachi debuted two years ago and quickly became a sensation. Although it’s not listed in Jump Festa 2026, anime rumors have circulated for over a year, making an official announcement very possible soon.
