Fans have been eagerly awaiting the anime adaptation of "FX Fighter Kurumi-chan" (FX戦士くるみちゃん), the investment manga penned by Demunyan and illustrated by Tansan Daisuki. Hailed by many as a cautionary tale, the series was first announced for a TV anime adaptation back in January.
Now, the official main visual has dropped, revealing the full cast of voice actors: Asami Seto, Ayasa Itō, and Miho Okasaki are joining the lineup! Plus, mark your calendars – the show is officially set to premiere in October 2026.
Originally a rough-sketch manga serialized on the author's personal website, "FX Fighter Kurumi-chan" later found its home in Monthly Comic Flapper, with Tansan Daisuki taking over the artwork starting in the March 2021 issue.
The title's "FX" stands for Foreign Exchange, specifically margin trading. This series follows a seemingly cute and wholesome college student who dives headfirst into the somewhat perilous (and hilarious!?) world of FX. It's a dark comedy with a financial twist, often praised by fans as a "cautionary tale" because, let's be real, while investments can bring gains or losses, the feeling of being stuck in a losing position is something many can deeply relate to.
The newly released main visual not only features Kurumi Fukuga, voiced by the previously announced Aina Suzuki, but also brings together her fellow investment partners:
Mochiko Kogane (CV: Asami Seto)
Mebuki Yamashi (CV: Ayasa Itō)
And the self-proclaimed "Affi-chan," investment blogger Yasuko Takane (CV: Miho Okasaki)
The anime is being produced by Passione, known for works like "A Playthrough of a Certain Dude's VRMMO Life" and "Spice and Wolf: MERCHANT MEETS THE WISE WOLF." Yuuki Ogawa is directing, with Kenta Ihara ("Saga of Tanya the Evil") handling series composition, and Kazuyuki Ueda ("KINMOZA!", "BanG Dream!" series) on character design.
A special PV was also released, giving us the first listen of the ending theme, "Dollar, Yen, Euro" (the official title will use currency symbols), performed by Kurumi's voice actress, Aina Suzuki. Fans have been waiting for this anime for ages, and everyone's buzzing to see how the animation team will bring the highs and lows of the FX world to life!
