by The unconventional and eye-catching manga FX Warrior Kurumi-chan, created by Demunyan with illustrations by Tansan Daisuki, is officially being adapted into a TV anime scheduled to air in 2026. Alongside the announcement, a teaser visual and teaser promotional video (PV) were released, giving fans their first look at the animated version of the high-risk world of foreign exchange trading.
It has also been revealed that Aina Suzuki will voice the protagonist Kurumi Fukuga, bringing emotional intensity to a character who experiences dramatic financial triumphs and devastating losses.
What Is FX Warrior Kurumi-chan?
Serialized in Monthly Comic Flapper (KADOKAWA), FX Warrior Kurumi-chan tells the story of Kurumi Fukuga, an ordinary college student with a love for carbonated drinks who steps into the dangerous world of FX (foreign exchange margin trading).
Kurumi begins trading FX with a deeply personal motivation:
to recover the 20 million yen her late mother lost through FX trading.
What starts as a seemingly simple attempt to reclaim lost money quickly turns into a psychological battle filled with:
- Sudden profits and crushing losses
- Emotional swings driven by market movements
- The terrifying reality that a 0.1 yen fluctuation can decide everything
Despite its cute art style, the story is known for portraying FX trading as an intense and unforgiving world where a single mistake can change a person’s life.
Teaser Visuals Highlight the Dual Nature of FX Trading
Two contrasting teaser visuals were released, perfectly capturing the spirit of the series:
● Standard Version
This visual shows Kurumi smiling and enjoying FX trading, reflecting the excitement and optimism that comes with winning trades and rising charts.
● Forced Stop-Loss Version
In stark contrast, the “forced stop-loss version” depicts Kurumi in complete despair after suffering a massive loss. This image has already drawn strong reactions from fans, especially those familiar with trading, as it realistically portrays the emotional devastation of forced liquidation.
Together, these visuals symbolize the heaven-or-hell nature of FX trading, one of the core themes of the story.
Teaser PV Captures Kurumi’s Emotional Extremes
The newly released teaser PV showcases Kurumi’s wide range of expressions as she reacts to the unpredictable movements of FX charts. From excitement and hope to panic and despair, the PV emphasizes that FX Warrior Kurumi-chan is not just about numbers, but about human emotion under extreme pressure.
Suzuki Aina’s voice performance adds authenticity, conveying tension, fear, and determination in moments where Kurumi is alone at her desk, surrounded by silence and the sound of her own heartbeat

Creator Comments Show Deep Emotional Investment
Comment from Demunyan (Original Author)
“FX Warrior Kurumi-chan has miraculously been made into an anime…! Thank you so much to all the readers who supported us and everyone involved who worked so hard. I’m overwhelmed with emotion. This story was born from my own negative energy, so I can’t wait to see what kind of anime it will become. I’m really looking forward to it.”
Demunyan’s comment highlights the deeply personal roots of the story and hints at the raw emotional intensity viewers can expect.
Comment from Tansan Daisuki (Illustrator)
“Thank you so much for your constant and warm support. Thanks to every reader who has followed the series, FX Warrior Kurumi-chan will be adapted into an anime. The production staff is working with great enthusiasm, and we’re confident this version will deliver new charms that only anime can provide. Please look forward to the broadcast.”
This statement reinforces the idea that the anime will expand on the manga’s appeal through motion, sound, and performance.
Suzuki Aina on Portraying Kurumi Fukuga
Comment from Aina Suzuki (Voice of Kurumi)
“I’ll be appearing as Fukuga Kurumi in the TV anime FX Warrior Kurumi-chan! It’s rare to see a manga or anime centered on FX trading, isn’t it? I learned what FX really is by reading the original, and honestly, it’s terrifying. The illustrations are cute, but the content is violent in a different way. Sitting alone at a desk, hands trembling in silence, where just 0.1 yen can make you laugh or cry—it’s a world of heaven or hell. Depending on how it’s handled, it can determine a person’s life. We’ll do our best to deliver an FX world that feels more than just thrilling—it will feel real.”
Her words strongly suggest that the anime will focus on realism rather than glamorizing trading.

Why FX Warrior Kurumi-chan Stands Out
Anime focused on finance and FX trading are extremely rare. FX Warrior Kurumi-chan stands out by combining:
- Cute character designs
- Brutally realistic subject matter
- Psychological tension
- A cautionary look at financial risk
For beginners, the anime may also act as an introduction to FX concepts while clearly showing the dangers involved.
Final Thoughts
FX Warrior Kurumi-chan is shaping up to be one of the most unusual and talked-about anime projects of 2026. With its honest portrayal of financial risk, expressive animation, and emotionally charged storytelling, it challenges the idea that cute visuals mean light content.
As more information is released, expectations continue to rise for this bold new entry that may redefine how real-world topics are handled in anime.
