Shinobu Ohtaka’s Orient Manga Ends on October 9 – News
The October issue of Kodansha‘s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine announced on Monday that Shinobu Ohtaka‘s Orient manga will end in the next issue on October 9.
Ohtaka (Magi) launched the manga in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in May 2018. The manga moved to Kodansha‘s Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in February 2021. The manga entered its final arc in July 2023. Kodansha published the 21st volume on May 9.
Kodansha USA Publishing is releasing the manga in English, and released the 19th volume on April 16. Kodansha USA Publishing describes the story:
The new shonen action manga from the creator of Magi is here! Musashi is a teenager living under demon rule. As children, he and his best friend made a promise: to become the greatest warriors in the world and overthrow the demons. But life intervenes, and five years later, he finds himself about to become a miner. Yet can Musashi truly be satisfied with a “normal” life?
At age 10, best friends Musashi and Kojiro sat in excited silence as Kojiro’s father spun tales of evil demons who preyed on the innocent, and the warriors who defeated them. Practicing swordplay, the two swear an oath to become the strongest in the world, but as they grow up, Kojiro turns cynical, and Musashi comes to the realization that he can’t overturn 150 years of demon rule on his own. He’s being called a prodigy with a pickaxe, and he’s almost ready to settle into a life of labor. Yet he can’t shake the feeling that he is still has a responsibility to act… and soon, the injustices of his world will force his hand…
The first cours (quarter of a year) of the manga’s anime adaptation premiered in Japan in January 2022. Crunchyroll streamed the anime, and also streamed an English dub. The anime’s second cours premiered on TV Tokyo in July 2022, and covered the “Awajishima Gekitō-hen” (Fierce Battle at Awaji Island Arc) of the original manga.
