In September 2023, Weekly Shonen Jump launched a new manga series that has since skyrocketed to the top of Japan's bestseller charts. The series, which breaks exciting new ground for the company, has prompted Shonen Jump to embrace what it refers to as the next generation of "Cool Japan."

The aforementioned manga is none other than Kagurabachi, an edgy dark fantasy tale written and illustrated by Takeru Hokazono. As detailed by Japan news outlet 47NEWS, the series captures the "alluring charm" of Japanese swordsmanship through the story of Chihiro Rokuhiro -- an adolescent whose father is murdered by a gang of sorcerers, prompting him to embark on a quest for revenge. Recently, Nordot conducted an interview with Hokazono in which he described what elements inspired him during the creation of Shonen Jump's latest manga sensation.
