You Dont Know Gunma Yet Manga Gets a New Anime Series in January 2026

You Don’t Know Gunma Yet, the manga that affectionately pokes fun at Gunma Prefecture, is getting a new anime series set to air in January 2026. The project is described as a light anime, meaning it will likely have a brisk, comedic tone in line with the source material.

The manga has built its humor around jokes about Gunma, a landlocked prefecture in Japan that has become the subject of internet memes suggesting it is a wild or untamed place. The series leans into that reputation with good-natured absurdity.

A January 2026 premiere puts the show in the winter anime season, where it should appeal to viewers looking for something lighthearted between longer series.

My take: Gunma Prefecture has been the subject of a long-running internet joke in Japan, and a whole manga built around that is exactly the kind of silly, affectionate comedy the medium does well. Looking forward to seeing how it translates to the screen.
