published last Saturday, July 27, the final chapter of
the Dragon Bugyō manga, a work created by the duo formed
by Kyoichi Nanatsuki and Mogi Yomogi. The story,
which had begun serialization in June 2024, thus concludes its
journey with just over a year of publication.
A
crossing from Nagasaki to Edo
The plot
follows Kiryu Uemon, a young man who is forced to live on the
streets after being disowned by his father. However, everything takes an
unexpected turn when he receives an official order from the }: he must deliver
a mysterious object from Nagasaki to Edo. This
mission will not only test his character, but also his destiny.
The
background of the author of the work
Kyoichi
Nanatsuki is
widely recognized for having been the writer of the manga Project ARMS, illustrated
by Ryōji Minagawa and published in Weekly Shonen
Sunday magazine between 1997 and 2002. This work had an
important international impact thanks to its anime adaptation in two seasons
of 26 episodes each, broadcast between 2001 and 2002.

re-released by Discotek Media in 2017.
A cycle
of stories that closes
Prior
to Dragon Bugyō, Nanatsuki had worked on Tsukimonogakari alongside Manyō
Asahi, also published on Sunday Webry from October 2022 until
its end in January this year. Although his time on this platform has been
brief, his works have left a mark on Shogakukan's recent
catalog.
