We have already written about this in our earlier text, but Tokyo Revengers author Ken Wakui has a new manga that finally debuted in today’s Weekly Shōnen Jump after some weeks of anticipation.

Anime and manga fans will have heard of the name Ken Wakui for sure, as the mangaka is known as the author of one of the most popular series in recent years. Tokyo Revengers became a global hit and one of the best yanki series in history, with the anime further increasing the series’ popularity around the world. Now, Tokyo Revengers ended in 2022 after five years of publication (the anime is still ongoing but is on a break as of the time of writing), which means that Wakui is ready for a new project, which is set to debut on April 15, 2024, in the popular Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine.

Best known for the world-renowned Dragonball, celebrated Japanese manga creator Akira Toriyama's many other works include the mini-epic Sand Land, a demon-infested, post-apocalyptic screwball romp published in 2000.

The story begins one year after the death of Hideyoshi, with Burst having to deal with intense financial problems, since they have already recruited almost every girl they could in Shinjuku. To avoid downsizing in scouter personnel, they instead decide to expand to Yokohama, where the All Japan Liquor Merchants Association announces plans to open a new gentleman’s club. To start the expansion, boss Yamashiro picks Seki and Tatsuhiko. The former however, is actually a Yokohama native who once took the fall for a murder rap for his friend Taki and has avoided Yokohama for 12 years for this purpose.
