Go with the Clouds Anime Reveals Tomohiro Ono As Lead, 2027 Premiere On Netflix
The adaptation lands a lead actor and a broadcast home, but the manga itself is still changing publishers, which is a lot of institutional churn behind a series that has not yet aired.

The television anime of Aki Irie's Go with the Clouds, North by Northwest began streaming its first promotional video on Friday. Tomohiro Ono stars as Kei Miyama, the 17-year-old private investigator at the center of the story. The website also posted a visual and set the premiere for 2027 on TBS, with worldwide streaming on Netflix. Netflix posted an English-subtitled version of the trailer. The manga moved through Harta, Aokishi, and now Yukiwariso.
The announcement came with a visual and a lead cast member, but not a studio or a staff list. Publisher history is the other half of the story here. The manga launched in Harta in 2016, later moved to Kadokawa's Aokishi, and after Aokishi stopped serializing it in February 2025, a new company called Yukiwariso said in October 2025 that it would publish the series. The first compiled volume of the manga's second series, which continues the original under new publishing and volume counts, shipped on April 30. The original manga's seventh volume shipped in Japan in 2024. Vertical licensed the manga in 2018, and Kodansha USA Publishing now releases it in English.
