Mangaka Tsuneharu
Okusu announced through his official X/Twitter account
that his work Nigero Matsumoto! -100 Days Escape- will come to
an end next Friday, May 17 , with the publication of its 27th
chapter .
The series
is being released digitally through Shonen Jump+ and has been
recognized for its unconventional take on the sport of cycling ,
combining action, drama, and thriller elements.
What is
Nigero Matsumoto about?
The
protagonist, Matsumoto , is a former three-time consecutive
champion of the Japanese University Road Cycling Championships. However, far
from glory, he now works as a bicycle delivery boy to make ends meet. Just when
he considers giving up cycling altogether, he becomes involved in a mysterious
and shocking incident that puts him back on the road… but this time,
for his life!
The story
blends speed, desperation, and redemption, presenting an adrenaline-fueled
emotional journey.
A quick
ending to an intense story
Nigero
Matsumoto! debuted
in July 2024 on the Shonen Jump+ platform .
To date, three compiled volumes have been published , the
latest on March 4. Shueisha's MANGA Plus service has
distributed the series in English, allowing readers around the world to follow
the story week by week.
With
only 27 chapters, the work is shaping up to be one of the short but intense
bets within the recent Shonen Jump+ catalogue , demonstrating that a
long serialisation is not necessary to leave a mark.
Fans are
already preparing to say goodbye to Matsumoto , a character
who, beyond the track, rode against fate and never stopped fighting to move
forward.
