The chapter announced that a new arc titled “Honjin Shitō-hen” (Stronghold Death Struggle Arc) will launch in early summer.
Manga creator Masami Kurumada ended the “Takeshima Honjin-hen” (Takeshima Stronghold Arc) of his Otoko-Zaka manga on the Shonen Jump+ app and website with its seventh chapter on Sunday.
The manga never inspired an anime, but Seisei Ruten: Kurumada-ism, a 2005 CD of songs with lyrics written by Kurumada, featured an “Otoko-Zaka” song.
Kurumada (Saint Seiya, Ring ni Kakero) first serialized the manga in Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine from 1984 to 1985.
