Seimaru Amagi's involvement brings serious mystery pedigree because as the writer behind The Kindaichi Case Files and The Drops of God, he's known for crafting smart procedural stories, which sets a strong expectation for Gifted. A detective story from Nakayoshi is also an interesting genre fit since the magazine is best known for shojo titles, so adapting a police mystery from its pages offers a unique creative direction for the anime. The successful live-action drama proves audience interest too because having already had a two-season TV drama run shows there's a built-in fanbase ready for the anime adaptation. And the early 2027 announcement gives time to build anticipation because revealing the project well in advance lets fans get excited and follow the production journey as cast and staff details get unveiled.

The official X account for Kodansha's shojo manga magazine Nakayoshi announced today that an anime adaptation of Seimaru Amagi (story) and Rima Amamiya's (art) Gifted will release sometime in 2027. Additional details, such as staff and cast, were not confirmed at the time of reporting.
