Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara TV Anime Announced for 2027
The manga "Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara" (also known as "Nabetama") is getting a television anime adaptation by studio J.C.Staff, with a planned debut in 2027. The announcement was made on June 25, 2026, via the manga's official X account, which also released a teaser visual. The series is written by Juntarō Aoki and illustrated by Shin Moriyama. It is described as a "non-fiction, chaos, hard gourmet report" comic following the protagonist Juntarō, a character who perceives all humans as beautiful girls due to excessive exposure to 2D media, as they travel to dangerous locations worldwide to sample unusual local dishes in pursuit of "50,000 points of deliciousness." The manga began serialization on Kadokawa's Comic Newtype web magazine in 2021, and Kadokawa has published five compiled volumes as of October 2024. It was listed among the top 20 manga for male readers in the 2023 edition of Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! guidebook. Aoki commented on the adaptation, calling it "one of the craziest Manga ever" and expressing anticipation for overseas reactions.
