In the July issue of Monthly Shonen Ace magazine from Kadokawa publisher, it was revealed that Hajime Segawa (Ga-Rei) will launch a new manga titled Shikabane-Gatana starting with the next issue of the magazine on June 26.
The story will focus on Juuki Kiki, a high school student who lives a happy life despite the strange circumstances of his family. But when a major disaster strikes, strange zombie-like creatures kidnap her younger sister. To find the place where they have arrived, Juuki heads to the monster-infested city, Tokyo, and there he will meet a mysterious high school girl with a sword.
Sega is also the author of the Ga-Rei manga, which he published in Kadokawa's Monthly Shonen Ace magazine between October 2005 and January 2010, with a total of twelve published compilation volumes. This work inspired a twelve-episode anime adaptation, produced by AIC Spirits Studios in collaboration with Asread, directed by Ei Aoki and scripts written by Katsuhiko Takayama, released in October 2008.
Synopsis of Ga-Rei
While many of us would scream in horror at the thought of a ghost in front of us, freshman Nimura Kensuke only sees it as a casual day-to-day event as he has the strange ability to always see them. Things soon become interesting when he meets a girl named Kagura, who has the power to summon a powerful "spirit eater" named Byakuei. So what will Nimura do? Chase the evil spirits and have Kagura summon Byakuei to devour them!
