The editorial department of Weekly Young Magazine stated on Twitter in December that Tsukiyama was preparing a new manga series and was seeking a regular assistant.
Aoki (under the pseudonym Hiroaki Igano) and Tsukiyama previously collaborated on the The Knight in the Area soccer manga, which launched in Weekly Shōnen Magazine in 2006, and ended in 2017.
This year’s 13th issue of Kodansha’s Weekly Young Magazine revealed on Monday that illustrator Kaya Tsukiyama and author Hiroaki Igano will launch a new manga series titled Kami-sama no Koibito (God’s Lover) in the magazine’s 14th issue on March 4.
Igano — under the penname Tadashi Agi (The Drops of God) — revealed in October that he would launch two new works in 2019.
