The official Twitter account for the Sakura Wars (Sakura Taisen) franchise revealed on Wednesday that the Shin Sakura Taisen (New Sakura Wars) game is getting a manga by Koyori Noguchi that will debut in this year’s 41st issue of Shueisha’s Weekly Young Jump magazine on September 12.
The Shin Sakura Taisen (New Sakura Wars) game will launch in Japan on December 12 and in the West in spring 2020.
Bleach manga creator Tite Kubo is the main character designer for the new game in the Sakura Wars (Sakura Taisen) franchise.
The game will take place in the 29th year of the fictionalized “Taisho” period of the franchise in the capital of Tokyo, taking place 12 years after Sakura Wars V. Japan’s actual Taisho period only lasted for 15 years, and the kanji used to write “Taisho” in Sakura Wars is different from the kanji used for the real Taisho period.
