by It has officially been announced that the popular FX-themed manga FX Warrior Kurumi-chan will be adapted into a TV anime scheduled to air in 2026. The series will star Aina Suzuki as the main character, Fukuga Kurumi, marking a rare and ambitious attempt to bring the world of foreign exchange (FX) trading to television anime.
Alongside the announcement, teaser visuals and a promotional video (PV) have been released, immediately drawing attention for their striking contrast between cute character designs and the harsh reality of financial trading.
About FX Warrior Kurumi-chan
FX Warrior Kurumi-chan is a manga serialized in Monthly Comic Flapper (KADOKAWA), written by Demunyan and illustrated by Tansan Daisuki. As its title suggests, the series focuses on FX (foreign exchange margin trading)—a topic rarely explored in anime or manga.
The story follows Fukuga Kurumi, a warm-hearted and laid-back college student who steps into the unforgiving world of FX trading. What begins as casual curiosity quickly turns into a high-risk battle against numbers, emotions, and the ever-changing market.
Despite its cute art style, the series is often described as a
“slightly dangerous (?!) FX story,”
because it does not shy away from portraying losses, pressure, panic, and psychological strain—all very real aspects of trading.
Two Teaser Visuals: Hope vs. Despair
To commemorate the anime adaptation, two contrasting teaser visuals were released:
🔹 Regular Version Visual
- Depicts Kurumi cheerfully enjoying FX trading
- Bright colors and relaxed atmosphere
- Emphasizes her optimism and beginner’s enthusiasm
🔹 Forced Stop-Loss Version Visual
- Shows Kurumi in deep despair after suffering a massive loss
- Darker tone, emotional expression, and overwhelming pressure
- Symbolizes the brutal reality of forced liquidation (loss cut)
This dual-visual concept perfectly represents the extreme emotional swings of FX trading, a key theme of the series.
What Is “Forced Stop-Loss”? (Beginner Explanation)
For viewers unfamiliar with FX trading:
- FX involves trading currencies to profit from exchange rate changes
- Leverage allows traders to control large amounts of money with small capital
- Forced stop-loss (loss cut) happens when losses exceed a certain limit
- At that point, positions are automatically closed to prevent further damage
In simple terms:
A difference of just 0.1 yen can mean the difference between profit and ruin.
This concept lies at the heart of FX Warrior Kurumi-chan and gives the story its intense psychological tension.
Teaser PV Highlights
The teaser PV captures Kurumi’s emotional highs and lows, showcasing:
- Nervous excitement while watching charts
- Silent tension in an empty room
- Hands trembling as numbers fluctuate
- Sudden despair when losses strike
Despite its short length, the PV clearly conveys that this is not a lighthearted comedy, but a realistic and emotionally charged story—wrapped in cute visuals.
