The digital version of this year's 46th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced on Monday that Shun Numa's Super Psychic Policeman Chojo (Chōjun! Chōjō Senpai) manga is getting a television anime in 2026, and revealed a teaser visual and the anime's main staff. (Note: The magazine issue's print version ships on Tuesday, as Monday is a national holiday in Japan.)
Numa also drew an illustration to commemorate the anime announcement:
Junichi Yamamoto (Why Raeliana Ended Up at the Duke's Mansion; Maebashi Witches; Anyway, I'm Falling in Love with You) is directing the anime at Arvo Animation. Hayashi Mori (Sand Land: The Series, Cells at Work! Code Black, Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth Verse) is superivsing and writing series scripts, and Masakatsu Sasaki (16bit Sensation: Another Layer, Seiyu's Life!, TONIKAWA: Over The Moon For You) is designing the characters.
Viz Media and Shueisha's MANGA Plus service started publishing chapters of the manga simultaneously with the Japan release in February 2024. MANGA Plus describes the series:
The creator of Samon the Summoner returns to Jump with a new series about a super-powered policeman! In Chinjuku, the city that never sleeps, there is a psychic senior police officer who has powers beyond human comprehension! His name is Meguru Chojo! Along with his judo expert partner Nao Ippongi, this hilarious duo will keep the streets clean by any means necessary!
The manga was first published as a one-shot story in Weekly Shonen Jump in April 2023, and started serialization in February 2024. The manga ended on June 9. Shueisha published the manga's seventh and final eighth volume on September 4. Viz Media will also publish the manga's first volume physically in spring 2026.
Numa's Samon the Summoner manga ran in Weekly Shonen Jump from 2015 to 2017. Viz Media published the first three chapters of the manga in its digital English version of Weekly Shonen Jump as part of its "Jump Start" initiative.
