The supernatural comedy manga with over 1 million copies in circulation is finally getting animated

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to see ghosts everywhere you go? Well, get ready because Ushiro no Shoumen Kamui-san is bringing that experience to your screen in Summer 2026!
Shogakukan just dropped some exciting news that made my heart skip a beat. The beloved manga by Eroki and Yayoi Karasuma is officially getting a TV anime adaptation, and honestly, I couldn't be more thrilled about it.
What Makes This Manga So Special?
Let me tell you about this gem that's been captivating readers since March 2020. Ushiro no Shoumen Kamui-san has been serialized on Ura Sunday and MangaONE, steadily building a dedicated fanbase that has pushed its circulation to over 1 million copies. That's no small achievement in today's competitive manga market!
The story follows Shizuka, a high school girl who's anything but ordinary. She possesses the ability to see ghosts, which sounds cool until you realize it means dealing with supernatural entities on a daily basis. Can you imagine trying to focus on your homework while spirits are floating around?
An Unlikely Partnership
Here's where things get interesting. Shizuka works as an assistant to Kamui, a renowned psychic who takes immense pride in his abilities. But there's a twist that sets this story apart from typical ghost-hunting tales.
Kamui's exorcism methods are... unconventional, to say the least.
The manga blends supernatural elements with comedy and erotic undertones, creating a unique flavor that's been resonating with readers for years. It's this distinctive combination that makes the upcoming anime adaptation so anticipated.
What We Know About the Anime
The announcement came through official channels, including the anime's X account @anime_kamuisan. While specific details about the production team and studio remain under wraps, the Summer 2026 premiere date gives fans something concrete to look forward to.
As of now, Shogakukan has published 11 volumes, with the 12th volume hitting shelves on February 19. This gives the anime plenty of source material to work with for its initial run.
Why You Should Care
If you're into supernatural stories with a comedic twist, this anime deserves a spot on your watchlist. The manga's success speaks volumes about its quality and entertainment value.
Think about it: over 1 million copies in circulation didn't happen by accident. Readers have connected with Shizuka's struggles and Kamui's peculiar approach to dealing with the paranormal.
Mark Your Calendars
Summer 2026 might seem far away, but trust me, it'll be here before you know it. This gives you the perfect opportunity to catch up on the manga if you haven't already started reading it.
Are you ready to dive into the world of ghost-seeing and unconventional exorcisms? Because Ushiro no Shoumen Kamui-san is about to bring that experience to life in animated form, and I have a feeling it's going to be absolutely spectacular.
