The January 2021 issue of Kodansha’s Young Magazine the Third magazine revealed on Thursday that Kyōtarō Azuma (The King of Fighters: A New Beginning) and Yōsuke Nakamaru (Gamaran) will launch a new manga titled Nihon Saikyō Bugeisha Ketteisen (The War to Decide Japan’s Strongest Martial Artist) in the magazine’s next issue on January 6.
Azuma launched the The King of Fighters: A New Beginning manga in Kodansha’s Magazine Pocket app in January 2018.
The manga is based on the story of SNK’s The King of Fighters XIV game.
In the story, a powerful fighter named Antonov revives the King of Fighters tournament and once again draws the series’ characters into conflict.
