2024 marks a huge turning point for Shonen manga and anime. Major series have ended with others primed to wrap up soon, which leaves a huge vacuum just waiting to be filled by the next mega hit.

We had that very thought, and after doing some digging, we found eight Shonen anime and manga that could be the next big thing. Please bear in mind that while these series might have already been around for a while—and have already enjoyed a fair amount of success—we’ve included them here due to their potential to blow up among the fandom in the near future.
