The Takeru Hokazono<\/strong>-created Kagurabachi<\/em> made its debut last September in Shueisha\u2019s Weekly Shonen Jump. The action manga quickly went viral on X due to English memes<\/a> that hyped it up, and it also ranked seventh in the Manga We Want to See Animated 2024 ranking<\/a>. Viz Media is releasing English-translated volumes this fall.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manga Plus describes Kagurabachi<\/em> as:<\/span><\/p>\n

Young Chihiro spends his days training under his famous swordsmith father. One day he hopes to become a great sword-maker himself. The goofy father and the serious son–they thought these days would last forever. But suddenly, tragedy strikes. A dark day soaked in blood. Chihiro and his blade now live only for revenge. Epic sword battle action!<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Girl meets Rock!<\/em>, which is written by\u00a0Kuwahali<\/strong>, started its serialization on Shonen Jump+ (also Shueisha) in January 2024. It was available on Manga Plus, but can no longer be found on the service at the time of writing. Manga Plus’s synopsis had read:<\/span><\/p>\n

With a passion for richly textured Japanese rock, first-year high school student Chihiro Hatono steps into the world of the light music club, new guitar in tow. But what awaits her behind those doors…? A drama of unfiltered youth and musical ambition takes the stage!<\/span><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
