2026 is Another Great Year for Romance/Shoujo Anime!

[lauraagrace]

2026 is almost here, which means it's time to "look ahead" at all the amazing shoujosei releases that are going to be coming our way at the start of the new year!

I hope you see plenty you're excited for! 🥳

The news about the Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori anime is fantastic. It’ll introduce a whole new generation to the series and to this fascinating period of history!

I have to admit, though, it feels surreal to see Shinohara’s incredible historical epic finally adapted for the screen, 30 years after I first discovered the manga in Sho-Comi as a kid. It’s not my personal favorite among Shinohara’s works (just because she has so many incredible series), but it is one that has had a lasting impact on me. It’s a powerful and important piece, especially to Shinohara as an artist with a deep interest in the history of Anatolia.

While we haven't seen how the animation itself will look, I really hope the project enjoys broad support. It’s a strong series, and if you’re an English speaker who hasn’t read the manga yet, the VIZ Media rerelease is currently in print. Definitely check it out before the anime premieres.

All the usual news sites have write ups based on the press release noted on Natalie, so if you want those details then head to the usual haunts (or the official website here). This post is simply me, as an older fan, expressing how happy I am to see this project finally take shape. Even though we don’t know much yet, a Sora wa Akai Kawa no Hotori anime is something I never expected to witness in my lifetime. So, as a longtime reader I just wanted to mark the occasion. Truly feeling overwhelmed in a positive way right now!
