The January 2022 issue of Kodansha’s Afternoon magazine revealed on Monday that Hiroaki Samura is drawing a new one-shot manga tentatively titled “Yuri & Samura” in the magazine’s next issue on December 25.
The one-shot will focus on former Afternoon editor Kōichi Yuri and his relationship with a rookie Samura.
The manga inspired a new anime that premiered in October 2019 worldwide (except in some areas) exclusively on Amazon Prime Video.
Samura’s Blade of the Immortal manga inspired a television anime in 2008, and Media Blasters released the anime in English.
