Kadokawa's Monthly
Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine announced in its October issue that
the Hoshi-kui Koroshi Egnaro manga, by Arata Yamaji,
has been canceled. The publisher said that the decision was due to
"various circumstances" that prevented the author from working on the
series continuously.
A
Fantasy World Interrupted
The story
was set in a world divided by a gigantic rift that sinks deep into the earth.
Adventurers and explorers entered this abyss in search of treasures and
artifacts, while the protagonist Egnaro embarked on a journey
to challenge and murder a god.
The manga
was launched in February 2024 in Kadokawa magazine, and it
published its third compilation volume on April 24.
Despite its short run, the series had aroused interest for its dark fantasy
proposal.
Arata
Yamaji's Legacy
Yamaji is
widely known for having created the spin-off manga A Certain Scientific
Accelerator, centered on the character Accelerator from
the A Certain Magical Index franchise. This work was published
in the same magazine between 2013 and July 2020, bringing together 12
volumes. In the West, Seven Seas Entertainment published
the manga in English, with the last volume published in June 2021.
From the
pages to the anime
The
spinoff A Certain Scientific Accelerator inspired a
12-episode anime adaptation released in July 2019.
The series was broadcast on platforms such as Crunchyroll and Funimation,
further consolidating the author's international recognition.
