We will also carry out various projects such as distributing foil-stamped illustration cards created to commemorate the release of Volume 2, giving away original T-shirts, and selling full-color art boats and LINE stamps.

In addition, according to Shueisha, the first episode of “MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA”, a simul manga magazine app/web service for all over the world and in multiple languages, achieved the number one view in the world within the first week of serialization (September 2023)・English version) “As of April 2024, it has over 99 million PV, and its momentum shows no signs of slowing down not only in Japan but also overseas.”Weekly Shonen Jump” is currently the most popular. It’s no exaggeration to say that it’s popular.” *99 million PV is for the entire work, not just one episode.

The main character of “Kagurabachi” is Chihiro, a boy who aspires to become a swordsmith, and trains every day under his father, who is also a swordsmith. He is a playful father and a quiet son.

I thought my days of endless laughter would continue forever, but one day tragedy struck… Blood-stained bonds and never-ending daily life. The boy ignites his hatred and harbors a flame of determination in his heart. Sword fighting action drawn by a genius. It will start in September 2023 in Weekly Shonen Jump, and is the first serialized work by author Gaisono.

■Vaundy’s comment
“He is a swordsmith who can bring out the bewitching power of a sword.

The way the protagonist fights like he’s swimming transforms the battlefield into a stage.”
