Kengan Ashura author Yabako Sandrovich has confirmed the development of a new manga series.
The announcement was made during a video on Shogakukan’s Manga ONE app’s official YouTube channel, released on Dec 27, 2024.
In the video Sandrovich and his editor, Sho Kobayashi, were discussing a new series with an original story by the author, right before getting to judging the Newcomer Award.
They can also be seen demonstrating mixed martial arts (MMA) techniques, hinting that the upcoming series may continue Sandrovich’s tradition of incorporating combat sports themes.
As the two moved on to judge the manga entries, the camera operator asked Sandrovich about the new series, to which he confirmed its development.
Yabako Sandrovich and illustrator Daromeon serialized Kengan Ashura manga on Shogakukan’s Ura Sunday website from April 2012 to August 2018, with its chapters compiled into twenty-seven tankōbon volumes.
A sequel, titled Kengan Omega, began in January 2019.
It got an anime adaptation, where the first 12-episode part premiered in July 2019 on Netflix; the second 12-episode part premiered in October of that same year.
A second season premiered in September 2023 with a 12-episode first part; the second 16-episode part premiered in August 2024.
