Kagurabachi Will Carry The Next Generation Of Jump, Says Shueisha Allegedly
The rumor stems from a broadcast of Manganuma, a Japanese TV program.
On June 4, a rumor began spreading that Shueisha wants Kagurabachi to carry the next generation of Shonen Jump magazine.
The rumor stems from a broadcast of Manganuma, a Japanese TV program presented by Kenji Yamauchi and Akira Kawashima.
Both claimed that they had lunch with someone from Shueisha, who commented, “They (Shueisha) said they wanted Kagurabachi to carry the next generation of Jump.”
The program ended with Yamauchi and Kawashiwa highlighting Kagurabachi as the next ace in the program.
Although the comment by the Shueisha employee could also mean that the publishers see Kagurabachi as a viable replacement for some of its biggest series.
Currently, My Hero Academia is confirmed to end this year, and Jujutsu Kaisen is likely to end this year too. Furthermore, One Piece is also in its final saga.
This also supports the manga introduction, which was done via the JUMP NEXTWAVE initiative.
