We don’t know much else about the manga, beyond the fact that it is a short-term serialization, but given the Akutami pedigree, the fans are already excited.
According to the elements, the number of this week of Weekly Shonen Jump confirmed the press release in his table of contents. Shueisha has not officially announced the project. According to Manga News Source Manga Mogura on X, fans can look forward to the release of the first chapter in the September 8 issue of Weekly Shonen Jump.
Why are fans already excited for the new manga of Gege Akutami, Mimojuro
Release in 2018 with immediate fanfare, Jujutsu Kaisen is a beloved shonen battle that is clearly inspired by series like Naruto And Bleach. There is a reason why many fans consider Jujutsu Kaisen be Bleach real successor. With its darker edge and tone, Jujutsu Kaisen was one of the largest series of Shonen Jump until his conclusion in September 2024.
In addition to the anticipation of fans for Akutami’s return to the manga world, there is also excitement about his collaborator. Yūji Iwasaki and Nisio Isin Cipher Academy Was Shonen Jump’s new most exciting series when created in 2023, and part of this was undeniably the works of Iwasaki.
Why the new manga of Akutami is so surprising before even going out
Beyond the obvious excitement at the prospect of more manga from Akutami, which makes Mocked It is so surprising how it came out after the end of Jujutsu Kaisen.
The manga is a notoriously harsh industry, and even Akutami himself needed the help of One piece Creator to deal with the physical tension to work so hard. Most mangaka behind a huge series take many more sabbatical leave before trying another series.
Masashi Kishimoto, for example, took five years after Naruto ending to release the first chapter of his follow -up manga, Samurai 8. The stress of working on manga, both physically and mentally, means that no one can blame the creators of large series for having taken a long rest after the conclusion of their popular manga.
Probably helping things for Akutami is that it is not art duties. Although writing weekly manga is undoubtedly an intimidating task, it is often art that offers the greatest challenge and time to manga creators. Given that Akutami works with an artist, this probably facilitates work on a new series.
Although it is surprising to see Akutami go back to the manga world so shortly after Jujutsu Kaisen End, it’s always a welcome return. Jujutsu Kaisen is a seminal series, so it will be exciting to see what Gege Akutami cooks afterwards.
