Gifted Anime Confirmed for 2027: The Mystery Duo From Nakayoshi Is Coming to TV

You know that feeling when a mystery clicks into place, like a puzzle piece snapping down with a clean sound? That’s how this announcement landed for me. I grew up in Mexico with a Korean heart—kimchi next to tortillas—and I learned early that stories travel far. Now Gifted is traveling again, this time into anime.

Gifted will get an anime in 2027

The manga Gifted, written by Seimaru Amagi and drawn by Rima Amamiya, has been confirmed for an anime adaptation scheduled to be broadcast in 2027. Amamiya also shared a celebratory illustration online to mark the news.

If you like tracking a series from one format to the next, this is one to keep close—like a clue folded in your pocket.

The story: two abilities, one dangerous path

At the center of Gifted are two partners who don’t blend into a crowd:

• Natsuki Amakusa: a genius detective with extraordinary deductive reasoning, insight, and logical thinking.
• Yūya Shiki: born with a gift that lets him identify murderers.

Together, they face difficult cases by combining logic and an unsettling certainty. It’s like walking a tightrope: one of them sees the wind, the other feels the wire.

Tell me directly: are you the type who watches mysteries weekly, or do you wait and binge when every secret is already out?

From Nakayoshi pages to a growing franchise

Gifted began serialization in Kodansha’s Nakayoshi magazine in December 2021. The manga is still expanding, and volume 12 is set to release on June 12.

I still remember being a kid and hunting for new chapters like they were candy behind the counter. You stand there, patient but buzzing, because you want the next moment now. If you’re following the manga, mark that June date and keep your shelf ready.

The 2023 live-action adaptation (and who played who)

Before the anime reveal, Gifted already stepped into live-action. The adaptation starred:

• Takahisa Masuda (NEWS) as Natsuki Amakusa
• Hidaka Ukisho as Yūya Shiki

The series ran for two seasons: the first debuted in August 2023, followed by a second season in October 2023.

If you’ve watched it, bring that energy into the anime announcement: share your favorite case moment with a friend who loves detective duos.

About Seimaru Amagi and the many pen names

Seimaru Amagi is a pen name. Kodansha has also listed the author as Shin Kibayashi, and the creator is known for writing many manga under different names. Here are a few that connect to well-known works:

• Tadashi Agi (with Yuko Kibayashi): Drops of God

Drops of God also received a live-action series in 2023, followed by a second season that debuted on January 21. An anime adaptation debuted on April 10, and Crunchyroll streams it as it airs.

Now it’s Gifted’s turn to move in a new shape. Add “Gifted (2027)” to your watchlist notes, and if you’re a manga reader, consider catching up before the broadcast arrives.
