What it’s about
The Potentials (2026)
Teruichi Tsuchiya, 42, is a perpetual assistant to a master manga artist. He feels uneasy about his junior colleague who has debuted as a manga artist, his estranged wife who is a popular voice actress, and for some reason, he is constantly at odds with his daughter, who lives with him and is preparing for her high school entrance exams. Just as a 17-year-old manga series comes to an end, a new manga project comes along. Joining him are Yuki Shioda, a 29-year-old editor who is aware of his lack of passion for his work, and Potato Yamada, a headstrong 40-year-old rookie assistant. What future awaits him after taking this step…?
It shares its release window with Gentle Monster, so expect the two fanbases to be reacting side by side.
The Potentials opens in theaters on October 30, 2026.
