Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is preparing to celebrate
the first anniversary of “ Kagurabachi ”, the work
of Hokazono Takeru , in the issue on September 2, 2024
(although it will be leaked before). This long-awaited milestone will be
accompanied by major announcements, including new information about his latest
merchandise and a secret project that has generated high expectations
among fans.
Since its debut in September 2023, “Kagurabachi”
has captured the attention of Weekly Shonen Jump readers, quickly becoming one
of the magazine's most promising series. Over the past year, the
series has gained a solid fan base, leading to speculation about a possible
anime. With enough material accumulated, fans hope that the secret project that
will be announced in this edition will be the long-awaited anime adaptation.
However, expectations are tempered due to recent
experience with another secret Shonen Jump project. The secret “My Hero
Academia” project turned out to be a popularity poll, leaving many fans
disappointed. This background has led “Kagurabachi” fans to remain
cautious, although hope for a more substantial announcement remains alive.
In addition to the announcement of the secret project,
the 40th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump will feature “Kagurabachi” on the
magazine's cover, accompanied by a full-color opening page, underscoring the
importance of this anniversary for the series. The celebration also
coincides with the recent success of “Kagurabachi” at the Anime Expo 2024
event, where it was voted the best emerging manga by fans on Shueisha's Manga
Plus app.
Since the release of its first compilation volume on
February 2, 2024, “Kagurabachi” has continued to rise in popularity,
establishing itself as one of the new gems of Shonen Jump . The series
has been praised for its intriguing narrative, well-developed characters, and
distinctive art style that has resonated with a global audience.
