Author Aka Akasaka , known for his
successful works on the manga “Kaguya-sama: Love is War” and “Oshi no
Ko,” has confirmed that he will be starting a new manga series in Young
Jump magazine in spring 2025. This time, Akasaka will not only be
returning with an original story, but he will also be enlisting the help of
“Record of Ragnarok” illustrator Ajichika to bring his next project to artistic
life. The combination of Akasaka’s distinctive storytelling and
Ajichika’s style has already generated high expectations among fans of both
artists.
The synopsis for the new manga reads: “ In
a fairy tale world, there are always princesses and princes guided by fate .”
While this is a brief introduction, it suggests that the manga might explore
romantic and fantasy themes typical of fairy tales, but with the signature
twist that Akasaka often puts into his stories, where relationships and
characters always have deeper, more complex dimensions.
The announcement of Akasaka’s new project comes at a
crucial time, as the final chapter of “Oshi no Ko” is set to be published this
week , a manga that has garnered a huge fan base
thanks to its innovative mix of dark themes about the Japanese entertainment
industry and complex characters. However, the ending of the manga has
already been leaked online, leading to mixed reactions among readers. Some
fans have expressed notable dissatisfaction with the ending, criticizing the
way the final arc developed the narrative and the characters’ conflicts.
For some, this disappointment is familiar, as the
final arc of “Kaguya-sama: Love is War” was also criticized at the time by a
portion of the community. Fans pointed out that the conclusion of
“Kaguya-sama” lacked the intensity and depth that characterized the previous
stages of the series, suggesting that the final arc was excessively weak
compared to the rest of the story. This tendency of Akasaka to close
his works in a way that divides the audience has generated both debate and
anticipation , with many wondering if he will manage to keep his
readers interested until the end with his next project this time.
The announcement of the new manga has generated great
anticipation among fans, who are eagerly awaiting more details. The
combination of a “fairy tale” setting and the unique vision of both creators
suggests that this manga will explore romantic themes, conflicts of fate, and
possibly unexpected twists that have made Akasaka famous in the manga
world.
