Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara's Wild Gourmet Quest Gets 2027 J.C. Staff Anime

The announcement landed with perfect timing today as the official account for the offbeat gourmet manga Nabe ni Dangan wo Ukenagara revealed its television anime adaptation slated for 2027.

J.C. Staff will handle production, with a teaser visual dropping alongside the news that immediately captured the series' signature mix of absurdity and appetite.

The story centers on Juntarō, a traveler whose excessive anime consumption has rewired his perception so that everyone appears as a stunning girl. He roams hazardous corners of the globe chasing 50,000 points of pure deliciousness through strange local dishes in what the manga calls a non-fiction, chaotic, hardcore gourmet report.

Serialized on Kadokawa's Comic Newtype since 2021 and now at five volumes, the series earned early acclaim including a top-20 spot in Takarajimasha's Kono Manga ga Sugoi! rankings for male readers. The upcoming anime promises to turn this cult favorite's boundary-pushing foodie adventures into must-watch television.
