As part of the announcement, Aki Shimizu and Natsuhiko Kyogoku shared their thoughts on the upcoming anime. The comments can be read below:

Aki Shimizu:

I can’t believe that there’s going to be a Chuzenji-sensei anime! I’m so honored! I’m going to look forward to it as a viewer myself.

Natsuhiko Kyogoku:

A man who was born from the words that I wrote and was given a physical form through Aki Shimizu’s sorcery is now going to be moving and talking. He’s also apparently young. I can’t help but be shocked.

Further updates on anime is yet to be revealed.

Pony Canyon describes the plot of The Mononoke Lecture Logs Of Chuzenji-sensei: He Just Solves All The Mysteries as:

This story takes place before the exorcist Kyogokudo opened up a used bookstore…

Our setting is in Tokyo in 1948, just right after the war.
Kanna Kusakabe had just become a second-year at a high school when she meets the new language teacher, Akihiko Chuzenji.

Mysterious supernatural things keep happening around Kanna. Once again today, Kanna is going to open the doors to the library prep room to seek help from the surly Chuzenji-sensei who is waiting inside.

A high school supernatural mystery featuring the unlikely duo between a teacher and a high school girl is about to begin!

Aki Shimizu launched The Mononoke Lecture Logs Of Chuzenji-sensei: He Just Solves All The Mysteries manga in Kodansha’s shonen manga magazine Shonen Magazine Edge in October 2019. After the magazine’s discontinuation in October 2023, the series was transferred to Kodansha’s Comic Days website in December that same year.

Its chapters have been collected into nine tankobon volumes as of May 2024.

After 6 and a half years of captivating fans worldwide, Jujutsu Kaisen manga has officially concluded with Chapter 271, released on Sep 30, 2024.

The manga, which began its serialization in Weekly Shonen Jump in March 2018, has now reached an impressive milestone of over 100 million copies in circulation, including digital copies.

To commemorate the end of the series, a special message and illustration were revealed by its creator, Gege Akutami, expressing gratitude to the fans for their support throughout the journey.

“Jujutsu Kaisen has reached over 100 million copies in circulation, and is now complete! Thank you so much for your support!!” Akutami wrote in his final message to readers, accompanied by an illustration featuring Itadori, and faces of Gojo, Megumi & Nobara.

The manga also received a heartfelt tribute from Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2’s anime director, Shota Goshozono, who also shared a personal reflection on his involvement with the series.

In his message, Goshozono recalled his initial struggles in the anime industry and how he found inspiration in Akutami’s work.

“I joined the anime industry thinking, ‘Perhaps I have talent,’ but I lost hope and quit within a year. Later, when Jujutsu Kaisen began serialization, I was drawn to it immediately. It was filled with the influences of the things I grew up watching. Upon realizing the author was someone of my generation, I was both inspired and humbled,” Goshozono wrote.

He continued by sharing his journey back into the industry and eventually becoming involved with the Jujutsu Kaisen anime project.

“Working as the director of season 2 was a challenging task, and I often found myself reflecting on Akutami-sensei’s work ethic and the sheer volume of content he produced week after week. It made me wonder what kind of person could take on such an intense workload for six and a half years. Now that Jujutsu Kaisen has reached its conclusion, I truly want to say: Akutami-sensei, thank you for your hard work. You did an incredible job,” Goshozono concluded.

Check out the special illustration by the director below:

Shueisha also revealed the upcoming release schedule for the remaining volumes of the manga. Volume 28 is set to be released on Oct 4, 2024, whereas Volume 29 and 30 will be released simultaneously on Dec 25, 2024.

In a recent series of tweets, Animator Souta Shigetsugu, known for his work on Jujutsu Kaisen, One Pieceand Attack on Titanexpressed frustration with overseas anime fans who eagerly anticipate and celebrate leaks of unreleased content.

The animator wondered how many reading and viewing experiences might have been ruined because of leaks and criticized not only those who engage in piracy but also the fans who encourage this behavior.

Interestingly, Shigetsugu’s comments come on the back of Jujutsu Kaisen fans on X praising leakers for making the manga chapters available to them on social media platforms before its official release.

“Of course, I know the majority of fans are good people, but I often see some overseas fans, who call themselves ordinary fans, eagerly awaiting leaks or expressing gratitude to those who leak content. It really frustrates me when I see pirated footage of anime films being circulated right after they’re released in theaters overseas,” Shigetsugu posted.

“How many reading and viewing experiences have been ruined because of leaks? While those who leak and spread the content are obviously terrible, what annoys me even more are the so-called ‘ordinary’ fans who appreciate it or take it for granted. Don’t act like it’s something to be enjoyed…,” he added.

Shigetsugu pointed out that leaks also reveal sensitive information about anime staff and production details, which should remain confidential until officially disclosed.

He then went on to say that the idea of simultaneous release of Japanese anime movies across the world was a bad idea, even though that’s what oversees fans craved for.

According to him, as soon as a movie released overseas, pirated footages can be seen circulating online. He noted that this was something which rarely happened when an anime film released in Japan.

He hoped that there would always be a gap between the Japanese and overseas release of a movie.

“Worldwide simultaneous releases of Japanese anime films are the worst. If it were only in Japan, theater camrips almost never happen, but as soon as it’s released overseas, the pirated footage gets circulated practically on the first day. So, I really wish there would be a delay between the Japanese and overseas release dates. I completely understand the anticipation of overseas fans, but overseas camrips happen every time…“

Popular anime and manga series have been a victim of early leaks, as they almost always ended up on the internet before its official release.

While Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece and other manga are shining examples in this sphere, a recent overseas mishap includes multiple episodes of Taste, Ranma 1/2, Re:Zero and other anime being leaked online before their official release date.

The users leaking the content on SNS platforms also gain significant following, giving rise to a whole leak culture surrounding it.

However, the crackdown on such leakers has been intensifying. A recent example includes the U.S. Court passing an order for the disclosure of information about the accounts which leaked Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer anime content on X.

Sony YAY! is looking to expand its anime offerings following the success of Naruto and Naruto: Shippuden on its channel, according to Ronojoy Chakraborty, Head of Programming at Sony YAY!.

Naruto achieved unprecedented success on Sony YAY!, amassing over 63.2 million viewers across India, whereas Naruto: Shippuden has reached over 30 million viewers.

In an interview with Animehunch, Chakraborty discussed the broadcaster’s broader strategy for anime acquisition and hinted at plans to secure more titles in the future.

Chakraborty explained that the acquisition of Naruto went beyond just airing the show.

Sony YAY! took on the role of a master licensor, obtaining the rights to not only broadcast the series but also to market and merchandise it across various platforms.

The company dubbed the show into several local languages and created a dedicated time slot for the series.

“As a broadcaster, we have avenues to promote a show – how to put it on the platform and so on, which we did. We acquired one of the best properties in the world which is Naruto. We dubbed it in local languages. We acquired the licensing rights for Naruto. We have tied up with different outlets. We have become the first master licensor for it in India. We have created a slot on the channel for such kinds of shows. And this is how we have continued it.”

This multi-faceted approach, which includes marketing, licensing, and merchandise, is something Sony YAY! plans to replicate with any future anime acquisitions.

While Chakraborty did not disclose specific titles that Sony YAY! may be considering, he emphasized that the network’s focus remains on securing properties that appeal to their audience.

Given the strong reception of shonen titles like NarutoSony YAY! might likely continue prioritizing shounen anime that resonates with its core demographic of viewers aged 12 to 18.

However, Chakraborty also mentioned the potential for broader genres, such as shoujo, romance, sci-fi, drama, and fantasy, as the anime market in India matures.

Beyond anime, Sony YAY! is also working to expand its “toonverse,” which includes a mix of animated shows sourced from both global and Indian creators.

Chakraborty stressed the importance of engaging audiences of all ages, from young children to teens and young adults, by offering a wide variety of programming.

Shows like Shin chan (which incidentally is an anime) and original productions such as Honey Bunny Ka Jholmaal are part of this effort, creating a diverse entertainment platform that appeals to viewers across different states and languages.

Sony YAY! aims to continue growing its footprint in the Indian animation market by offering a diverse selection of shows that resonate with audiences, whether they are anime, homegrown cartoons, or international animated series.
