The upcoming television anime adaptation of Choujun! Chojo-senpai has officially detailed its broadcast launch, releasing the synopsis and preview screenshots for the premiere episode, titled "Cho-nouryoku Junsa-cho", scheduled to air on October 6, 2026.
Based on the manga by Shun Numa published in Weekly Shonen Jump, the series follows the chaotic exploits of Meguru Chojo, an eccentric investigator wielding telepathy, clairvoyance, and mind-reading, and Nao Ippongi, a rookie officer built like a powerhouse with an intimidating judo background. Together, this unlikely duo patrols the fictional, neon-lit entertainment district of Chinjuku.

The principal voice cast features Yusuke Kobayashi as Meguru Chojo and Riko Aono as Nao Ippongi, supported by Maria Naganawa, Daisuke Ono, Toshiya Miyata, Kanmitsu Nobuaki, Kanna Nakamura, and Urata Kazuki.
