Black Channel TV Anime is Coming: The Demonic YouTuber Moves to the Screens
The Black Channel manga, which has been taking Monthly Coro Coro Comic magazine by storm, is taking a major step that has fans excited. According to the official announcement made on April 14, 2026, this popular series created by Satoshi Kisaichi will be adapted into an official television anime. The manga, which has been ongoing since 2020, has managed to reach a wide audience by blending modern digital culture with dark humor.
At the center of the series is Black, a mysterious YouTuber who is actually a demon from the "Black World." Together with his loyal assistant Camera-chan, Black captures the true nature, hidden desires, and sometimes the misery of humans on camera. These videos, which "unmask" everyone from popular students in class to elite athletes, provide viewers with both entertaining and chilling moments. Black makes deals with people to create content, but these deals often lead to unexpected and ironic results.
Black Channel is actually not a stranger to the anime world. The series reached millions of views in the digital world with short episodes (ONA) prepared by Plott Inc. and released on YouTube in 2020. However, this new announcement heralds a full-scale television production that will take the series' production quality and storytelling to the next level. The manga has 13 volumes published so far, and the 14th volume will hit shelves on April 28, 2026.
This adaptation is of great importance, especially for the Coro Coro Comic audience and anime fans who love modern YouTuber-themed stories. How Satoshi Kisaichi's energetic and powerful drawing style will be reflected on the screen is already a matter of curiosity. Although no exact release date or studio information has been shared yet, the celebratory visual shared on Coro Coro's official social media accounts signals how ambitious the project is. Details such as the voice cast and the first trailer are expected to arrive in the coming months.
