Jigokuraku mangaka Yuji Kaku teased on his official Twitter account that he was working on something he’s “never done” before. He mentioned that the work will be announced as soon as it is done.

“It’s been a month since I noticed while raising beetles and trying ‘a type of work I’ve never done’ … (The above work will be announced as soon as it is about to be released.)” Kaku wrote.

Kaku’s previous work, Ayashimon, came to an end abruptly in the Weekly Shonen Jump on May 30, 2022. He shared panels from Ayashimon in his tweet.

“Hell’s Paradise animation is steadily being prepared. We would appreciate it if you could wait for the official information to be announced. Thank you for your continued support!”
