Following its victory, it is likely that Nue’s Exorcist will get an anime adaptation soon, especially since Shueisha is looking for successors to fill the void created by Jujutsu Kaisen and My Hero Academia ending.

Nue’s Exorcist shares a few similarities with Jujutsu Kaisen. For starters, both have supernatural enemies. Nue’s Exorcist has spirits while Jujutsu Kaisen has curses. These entities cannot be seen by regular people, which is another thing that the two series share.
Nue’s Exorcist Has A Lot Of Potential
Nue’s Exorcist began serialization in the Weekly Shonen Jump in May 2023.

Following a confrontation with a violent spirit, Gakuro Yajime strikes a deal with a powerful entity who asks him to sign a contract. Ultimately, Gakuro Yajime ends up with the mission to exterminate all evil spirits.
