Pony Canyon officially announced a television anime adaptation for Tomoko Ninomiya's manga series Nanatsu-ya: Shinobu and Her Jewelry Box on November 11, 2026. The production is scheduled to premiere in 2027, bringing the long-running josei series to the screen for the first time since its debut over a decade ago.
The announcement was timed to coincide with "Jewelry Day" in Japan, a date recognized by the Japan Jewelry Association. The story centers on Shinobu Kurata, a high school girl with the supernatural ability to see auras in gemstones. She works at her family's pawn shop in Tokyo alongside her mysterious fiancé, Akisada Kitagami, who serves as a high-end jewelry salesman.
What We Know
According to the official announcement reported by Anime News Network, the animation production will be handled by J.C.STAFF. Chiaki Kon is set to direct the series, with Seishi Minakami overseeing series composition and Mai Furuki handling character designs.
The original manga by Tomoko Ninomiya has been a staple of Kodansha's Kiss magazine since November 2013. As of November 13, 2026, the series has reached 28 collected volumes. While the anime adaptation is now confirmed, Pony Canyon has not yet released specific details regarding the voice cast or the exact broadcast window within 2027.
Why It Matters
This project marks a high-profile reunion for the creative team behind several beloved adaptations. Tomoko Ninomiya is best known as the creator of the massive hit Nodame Cantabile. Fans of that series will recognize the synergy between the author's work, studio J.C.STAFF, and director Chiaki Kon, all of whom were instrumental in bringing Ninomiya's previous musical drama to life.
The adaptation also highlights the continued demand for josei titles with unique hooks. Nanatsu-ya: Shinobu and Her Jewelry Box distinguishes itself by blending traditional slice-of-life pawn shop dynamics with supernatural elements and the intricate world of high-end gem appraisal.
Where to Watch or Read
As of November 13, 2026, no international streaming platforms have been confirmed for the anime's 2027 release. However, the original manga is currently available for English-speaking readers. Kodansha publishes the series digitally through its K MANGA and MangaPlaza platforms.
What Happens Next
The Nanatsu-ya: Shinobu and Her Jewelry Box anime is slated for a 2027 release. Further information regarding the specific premiere season, episode count, and the voice actors for Shinobu and Akisada has not yet been announced. Fans can expect additional trailers and visual reveals as the production progresses toward its 2027 debut.
