Chojo anime now has a confirmed Japanese premiere date. Super Psychic Policeman Chojo will begin airing on October 6, 2026, in Japan, during the Tuesday night time slot. Announced on August 4, the date marks the scheduled arrival of the adaptation of Shun Numa’s manga.
Chojo begins airing in Japan on October 6
The first episode will air on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 11 p.m. in Japan. New episodes are scheduled to follow every Tuesday in the same time slot, within the “火アニバル!!” television block on Kansai TV and Fuji TV.
our latest news- The anime will premiere in Japan on October 6, 2026.
- The series will air on Tuesday evenings on Kansai TV and Fuji TV.
- Arvo Animation is producing the anime under the direction of Junichi Yamamoto.
- Shun Numa’s original manga has eight volumes, according to the official website.
The announcement replaces the broader fall release window with a precise date. A weekly slot suits a comedy built around investigations, dialogue and the reactions of an mismatched duo. Whether the police cases and jokes can maintain a steady rhythm, however, will only become clear once the episodes begin.
French viewers still have no confirmed platform
The official website lists Arvo Animation as the production studio and Junichi Yamamoto as director. The Japanese broadcast is confirmed for Kansai TV and Fuji TV, but no French platform or simulcast date appears in the available information.
For French-speaking viewers, the Japanese premiere therefore does not yet indicate where the series will be legally available in France or whether it will arrive on the same day.
Shun Numa’s original manga has eight volumes. That established foundation could help the adaptation introduce its world quickly, but it does not reveal how the first season will be structured or paced.

Chojo and Ippongi build the comedy around opposition
The first trailer introduces Meguru Chojo, a police officer with psychic abilities including telepathy and clairvoyance, and Nao Ippongi, his rookie partner. Chojo’s questionable methods collide with Ippongi’s sense of duty and impressive physical strength.
The cast includes Yusuke Kobayashi as Chojo, Riko Aono as Ippongi, Maria Naganawa as Robo-kun and Daisuke Ono as Yuki Inukai. Toshiya Miyata, Nobuaki Kanemitsu, Kanna Nakamura and Kazuki Ura complete the eight main roles revealed so far.
The trailer emphasizes the speed of the exchanges and the friction between the two personalities. Chojo uses his powers to anticipate situations, while Ippongi appears to pull the partnership back toward discipline. The premise is easy to understand, although the trailer is not enough to judge the season’s overall balance.
The supernatural comedy still needs a steady rhythm
Mob Psycho 100 combined supernatural powers, humor and more sensitive moments. Sakamoto Days, also cited by the trailer as a possible comparison, turns ordinary situations into fast-paced action scenes. Chojo seems to pursue a different balance, placing more emphasis on investigation and the clash between an undisciplined police officer and a rigorous rookie. The editorial team finds the duo convincing on paper because its central tension is immediately clear. The main uncertainty is whether the comedy and police cases will remain balanced throughout the series.
The references to Mob Psycho 100 and Sakamoto Days help establish the intended tone, but the comparison has limits: neither work is an earlier episode nor a production from the same studio. The most relevant references remain Shun Numa’s manga and the elements shown in the trailer.
October 6 is now fixed on the Japanese calendar, while French readers still need confirmation of a legal broadcaster. Viewers drawn to partner comedies and psychic powers have a promising starting point; anyone expecting a fully developed ongoing investigation will need to wait for the first episodes.
The manga already spans eight volumes
There is no video game, pre-order or early access involved: Chojo anime is a television series adapted from a manga. The August 4 announcement includes no price, box set or video edition.
The manga’s eight volumes can be read before October, but they do not replace confirmation of a French broadcast. The adaptation will also need to show how Robo-kun, Yuki Inukai and the other supporting characters fit into the central partnership.
The trailer establishes the tone through psychic powers, an improbable police station and a determined partner. It does not yet make it possible to assess the episode structure or the consistency of the animation.

What remains to be announced before October
The Japanese date is set, but several details will determine how easily French-speaking audiences can watch the series.
- Which platform will stream Chojo in France ? This will identify where the first episode can be watched legally.
- Will the simulcast start on the same day as the Japanese broadcast ? A delay would change the release rhythm for French-speaking viewers.
- Does the trailer reflect the pace of the entire season ? The episodes will show how the series balances investigations, action and comedy.
