Wakasugi ended his Detroit Metal City manga in 2010, and Viz Media published the manga in North America.
The manga inspired a live-action television series, a special, a film, and a web series.
This year’s ninth issue of Hakusensha’s Young Animal magazine revealed on Friday that Kiminori Wakasugi will launch a new manga titled Rhyming Man in the magazine’s next issue on May 12.
The manga inspired both a live-action movie and an original video anime.
