The December issue of Akita Shoten‘s Champion RED magazine teased on Tuesday that the magazine will publish a “special project” by Masami Kurumada (Saint Seiya, pictured right) in the February 2022 issue, which will ship on December 18. The magazine teases the “shocking” project as a Christmas gift, and a “new frontier” for Kurumada. The magazine’s January 2022 issue on November 19 will reveal more information.
Kurumada announced last November that his Otoko-Zaka manga will end in its 11th volume. Kurumada first serialized the manga in Shueisha‘s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1984 to 1985. He said, “I became a manga creator to draw this manga.” However, the series remained incomplete at three volumes for nearly 30 years. The manga’s initial eight-chapter revival began in Shū Play News, the official website of Shueisha‘s Weekly Playboy magazine, in June 2014. The manga moved to Shonen Jump+ in 2017.
Kurumada published the original Saint Seiya manga from 1986 to 1990. The manga has inspired a number of television anime, original video anime projects, anime films, and spinoff manga. The Saint Seiya: Saintia Shō spinoff manga also has an anime. Viz Media published the original manga in English under the title Saint Seiya: Knights of the Zodiac.
The manga is inspiring live-action film.
Update: Added more information from the magazine.
