The upcoming television anime adaptation of Neoshoko's supernatural manga Phantom Busters has revealed its premiere window, main cast members, and a striking teaser visual. Set for a 2027 broadcast, the project brings together an elite creative team to adapt the hit Shueisha Jump SQ. series, which has surpassed 1.4 million copies in circulation.
The story follows Mogari Shishikuino, a high schooler blessed with the ability to devour spirits who flees his strict family home for Kamakura. Tasked with exorcising the spirits haunting the area, Mogari crosses paths with Koreshiki Koreshiki, an honor student who refuses to believe in the supernatural. Together, they form the Phantom Busters club, soon joined by Kaoru Kanzaki, an occult-obsessed manga fan, and Kotaro Tamon, who can speak with ghosts but struggles with human interaction. Their chaotic yet vibrant school days form the heart of the narrative.
