With the end of Boku no Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen just around the corner, Shonen Jump is still searching for the next great manga to accompany One Piece as the main protagonist of the magazine in the coming years. Although there are several candidates, it seems that one stands out above all: Kagurabachi.
And we don’t say it, a senior executive of Shueishathe parent company of Jump, who revealed in a program Japanese interviews and reports that he wanted swordsman manga to top the release charts in Shonen Jump magazine in the future.
In case of Kagurabachi is quite unique: in the West, the manga began as a meme, since its central plot was full of clichés that were hardly surprising. However, in Japan it is a success and its volumes sell quickly, reaching sold-out.
In addition to the support of the Japanese, the manga has the approval of several renowned mangakas, including Kohei Horikoshicreator of Boku no Hero Academia, and Takehiko Inoueauthor of Vagabond and Slam Dunk. We don’t know when this furor will end, but it is clear that Kagurabachibeyond memes, is here to stay in Shonen Jump.
