by Japan’s anime industry thrives on the rich lineup of manga adaptations broadcast, released, and distributed yearly. This symbiotic relationship between anime and manga is critical in the diversity and abundance of anime content.
Various manga have been adapted into TV anime in the spring of 2024, including “Boukyaku Battery,” “The Fable,” and “Hananoi-kun to Koi no Yamai,” and many of the titles scheduled to be broadcast in the future are based on manga.

All the titles that received votes are revealed! The first place is “Angel and Act!!”. The approval rating was about 5%. This work is the story of a high school boy with an angelic voice, Ousen Ito (Acto), who aims to become a voice actor. It was serialized in “Weekly Shonen Sunday” from 2015 to 2018. Readers have commented that they want to follow the protagonist’s success story, saying, “Isn’t there a more suitable career manga for anime? I want to see Act take lessons and expand the possibilities of his voice,” and “I fell in love with Act’s character, who is arrogant but has a consistent personality!”.
The regular titles in the “What manga do you want to see animated?” survey came out on top. Since so many titles were voted for this time, we will introduce the collected comments. ACMA: GAME is a suspense serialized in Weekly Shonen Magazine that was also a hot topic this year when it was made into a TV drama.
The advanced psychological warfare of the game posed by the devil and the attractive characters were interesting, so I wanted to see it as an anime. Of course, the cast of Gado and the other devil game masters will remain the same!” “Soumatei Kaisubeshi” is a modern horror by Kazuhiro Fujita, who also worked on “Ushio and Tora” and “Karakuri Circus.” The lives of all the characters, including the villains, are conveyed.
The plot twists are resolved beautifully. I couldn’t help but gasp at the development right before the final episode.” “Tacoppie no Gensin” is a work that has a warm and cute illustration style but often has heavy themes that make you think. It’s two volumes, so I think it’s the perfect length for one anime season.” “Iroha no Kanjo Gakuen” is a mystery set in a cipher school where students train to decipher codes. I wanted to see the scenes where the codes are solved vividly, with color and movement.” “Yusyuunana Taisen” is because “The battle scenes between the loose gods from the 47 prefectures look exciting.
The fact that they speak in dialects seems interesting.” For “The Reincarnated Vampire Wants to Take a Nap~Please take care of me~,” the vote was given to a wide range of genres, with “The story is about a reincarnation of a legendary vampire. It has a warm atmosphere, battles, and a well-balanced story. It’s also charming as a story of the protagonist’s growth. It’s a comic novel adaptation, but I’d love to see it made into an anime!” For “My Wife. ~Become My Wife~,” the vote was given to “A love story between a pushy younger heir and an ordinary high school girl.
While the heir pushes her around, she is increasingly drawn to his boldness and strength, and the story unfolds in sometimes sweet and sometimes bitter ways… I couldn’t help but feel my heart racing.” For “The Circumstances of Izumo Kunizaki,” the vote was given to “The protagonist is a male Kabuki actor who plays a female role. Traditional performing arts are attracting attention, and it’s a title that has even had a drama CD made.” Many works were ranked in the completed works category, from titles that have just ended to titles that have continued to be loved for a long time, even after the final episode.
