The May issue of Shueisha’s Grand Jump Mucha magazine revealed on Tuesday that Tetsuya Saruwatari will launch a new manga mini-series titled Ahab in the magazine’s next issue on June 21.
The manga is based on Herman Melville’s Moby Dick novel, which tells the story of whaling captain Ahab on his single minded quest to exact revenge on Moby Dick, the whale that robbed him of a leg in an earlier voyage.
The manga will have a color opening page and will feature in the issue’s front cover.
His Kōkō Tekken-den Tough manga ran from 1993 until 2003, and relaunched as Tough from 2003-2012.
