First in the news.” beside a chart of the twenty-slot Weekly Shonen Jump No. 46 running order, with position 15 highlighted in orange and labelled “TV anime, summer 2027”.]() Nue’s Exorcist ran 15th in Weekly Shonen Jump No. 46, the same week its TV anime was announced. Bar lengths are decorative. / Off Model Weekly Shonen Jump 2026 No. 46 puts _Shinobi Undercover_ on its cover for the series’ second anniversary and 100th chapter. The bigger story of the week sits much further back in the magazine. _Nue’s Exorcist_, 15th in the running order for the second issue in a row, has been confirmed for a TV anime in summer 2027. This is the first This Week in Jump since No. 37-38 in August, so the column picks up with a magazine in steady shape: no series on break, One Piece back, and a run of anime dates now stretching from January to summer 2027. > [!IMPORTANT] > **Coverage week** > > This entry covers Weekly Shonen Jump 2026 No. 46. English chapters arrived on Viz and MANGA Plus on Sunday 11 October, the Japanese digital edition on Monday 12 October and the print issue on Tuesday 13 October, a day late because of Japan’s Sports Day holiday. Discussion is limited to line-up, release and announcement details. No chapter events are described. ## Nue’s Exorcist has an anime and an unchanged slot The announcement came on Shueisha’s Jump PRESS broadcast on 12 October. [Anime News Network]() and the [official site]() confirm a summer 2027 broadcast on the TV Asahi network, produced by Studio Hibari. Hiroyuki Hashimoto directs, Hiroshi Seko handles series composition, Shunpei Mochizuki designs the characters and MONACA writes the music. Kaito Miura voices Gakuro Yajima, Saori Ōnishi voices Nue and Sayumi Suzushiro voices Kazusa Suo. A teaser visual and promotional video are out. None of that moved the manga. Chapter 164 runs 15th in No. 46, exactly where it ran in No. 45, according to the fan tracker [jump-otona](). Running order is an editorial decision partly shaped by reader surveys, not a published popularity ranking, and an anime is usually agreed long before it is announced. A middling slot and a television deal can both be true at once. The magazine’s own response comes next week. The official No. 47 preview gives _Nue’s Exorcist_ the cover and lead colour. ## Two milestones arrived without much noise _Shinobi Undercover_ reaches its 100th chapter and second anniversary with the cover, lead colour and first place in the line-up, up from seventh last week. The issue also opens a reader-question corner for the series. _Me & Roboco_ reaches [chapter 300]() in fifth place with no colour page. Its celebration is deferred rather than skipped: No. 47 brings a centre colour for volume 28. Together with _Ichi the Witch_, which took the No. 45 cover for its own second anniversary and runs sixth with chapter 101, this is a quietly rich stretch for the magazine’s middle generation. ## One Piece is back and the bench barely moves [One Piece chapter 1195]() returns third after its break in No. 45, and no series is on break this week. _Akane-banashi_ holds second. The clearest upward move belongs to _Witch Watch_, up four places to ninth (one tracker has it eighth). A news account that is not official reports that the series enters its final battle in No. 47. No ending has been announced. The sharpest fall is _Graykeith: Translator Daemonica_, down four to 14th at only chapter 5. At the bottom, _Class 2-B Hero Destroyerz_, _Cannon Master_ and _HAL Formula_ hold the last three places, with HAL Formula last. ## Sakamoto Days keeps its position near the top [Sakamoto Days chapter 278]() runs fourth, down one place only because One Piece is back. It has stayed in the top six in every recent issue. Shueisha announced in July that the series is [heading to its climax](), but there is still no end date or final chapter count. Forum talk about when it might finish is only talk. The anime side is fixed: [Netflix confirms]() that Season 2 starts in January 2027. ## Kagurabachi is small in print and large on screen [Kagurabachi chapter 134]() runs 17th, and jump-otona marks it on reduced pages for the second week running. It has sat between 13th and 18th all autumn. The anime is moving the other way. On 12 October the [official anime site]() added a third leg to the World Tour, with Singapore on 29 November, Seoul on 6 December and São Paulo in December. The tour ends with a Japan premiere at the Kabukiza theatre in Tokyo on 25 March 2027, screening the first two episodes with live viewings in cinemas across Japan. Taiga Kimura, Tomokazu Seki and Katsuyuki Konishi appear on stage. The TV broadcast is still set for April 2027. Shorter chapters say nothing official about why they are shorter, and this column will not guess. What the week does show is a series whose magazine footprint and screen campaign are currently moving in opposite directions. ## The Golden Future Cup and a crowded January This week’s centre-colour one-shot is _Banchoism_ by Sai Koroko, the third entry in the Golden Future Cup 2026, a reader-survey contest that can lead to serialisation. The fourth entry, by Isshin Mineuchi, arrives in No. 47. No new serial starts and none ends in No. 46. The anime calendar is filling up. _Sakamoto Days_ Season 2, _Akane-banashi_ Season 2 (Season 1 aired April–June 2026) and _Mashle_ Season 3 all begin in January 2027, _Kagurabachi_ follows in April and _Nue’s Exorcist_ in summer. [Black Clover’s second season]() has been airing since 3 October, and No. 47 promises new cast comments. Readers coming back to that series can start with the [Black Clover Season 2 refresher](). ## Warm to hot, because the news outran the magazine No. 46 is a solid issue rather than a landmark one: a 100th chapter on the cover, a 300th inside, One Piece back and no breaks. Its heat comes from outside the pages. _Nue’s Exorcist_ shows how little a single line-up position can tell anyone about a series’ future, and next week the magazine gives it the cover. ## Sources 1.
