Passione has dated its foreign-exchange comedy. Per Anime News Network, FX Fighter Kurumi-chan (*FX Senshi Kurumi-chan*) premieres October 1, 2026, and the studio dropped a main promo video to mark it. It's a niche premise played straight: currency trading as a battle shonen.
The setup
Kurumi Fukuga is a college student who enters the foreign-exchange market to recover the 20 million yen her late mother lost. She joins other "FX fighters" in a world where, as the series pitches it, things can turn from heaven to hell in an instant. The manga by Demunyan (writer) and Daisuki Tansan (artist) has run in Comic Flapper since February 2021.
The main promo
Here's the main PV Passione released:
Who's making it
Passione produces, with Yūki Ogawa directing, Kenta Ihara on series composition, Kazuyuki Ueda on character designs, and Takurō Iga scoring. The cast is led by Aina Suzuki as Kurumi Fukuga, with Asami Seto, Ayasa Itō and Miho Okasaki.
Worth a slot?
It's an odd-premise single-cour that lives or dies on execution — the kind of show SenpaiRanks tracks on its dual-axis board so you can separate "fun to watch" from "actually holds up" once episodes air. For the recognizable fall headliners, our fall 2026 watch guide has the full slate.
