From February 12, 2026 to February 18, 2026, the article that attracted the most attention on Comic Natalie was a news article about the anime "Fist of the North Star -FIST OF THE NORTH STAR-."
"Fist of the North Star -FIST OF THE NORTH STAR-" is a new anime produced by a new cast and staff. It is scheduled to be broadcast and distributed in 2026, and the news article that ranked No. 1 in the weekly access ranking reported that it will be exclusively distributed worldwide on Prime Video.
Second place in the ranking was followed by a news article that Chie Shinohara's ``Heaven is a Red River'' will be made into a TV anime. Shinohara also expressed his joy at the anime being adapted 24 years after the series ended, saying, ``What a joy'' and ``What a happy work.'' The article received a great response from readers, with over 1,100 comments received.
On February 18th, the results of the manga award "Vertical Reading Manga Award 2025" sponsored by Comic Natalie will be announced. We also report on the award ceremony for INI's Sano Yudai Award, where Party-chan took the stage.
