Princess Resurrection's Mitsunaga Launches New Manga in September
posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
The October issue of Kodansha's Monthly Shonen Sirius magazine revealed on Monday that Yasunori Mitsunaga will launch a new manga series tentatively titled Jikan Teishi Yūsha (Time Stop Hero) in the magazine's next issue on September 26. The manga will have a color opening page.
The magazine describes the new manga's story as centering on Sekai Kuzuno (a pun on "kuzu no sekai," meaning "crapsack world"), a self-described normal high school boy who thought his life would be over after he becomes the center of a flame war in social media. Sekai is instead transported to another world, complete with overwhelmingly powerful abilities. While he thought that he could finally live the easy life in a new fantasy world, things do not go as expected for him.
Mitsunaga's Princess Resurrection manga ran in Monthly Shonen Sirius from 2005 to 2013. Kodansha published 20 compiled book volumes for the series. The manga inspired a television anime adaptation and a three-episode OVA. Sentai Filmworks re-released the television anime version of Princess Resurrection with an English dub on DVD in 2012. JManga released the first seven volumes on its website before closing in 2013. Kodansha Advanced Media re-released all 20 volumes of the manga digitally.
Mitsunaga launched the Princess Resurrection Nightmare manga in Monthly Shonen Sirius in November 2017, and Kodansha published the manga's fifth volume on August 8. Kodansha Comics is publishing the manga digitally, and it released the fourth volume on July 30.
Mitsunaga is also irregularly serializing his Hitsugi Tantei D&W manga, which launched in Young King Ours GH in 2011, though the latest volume shipped in 2014. He and Inomaru launched a new manga titled Tama Kick in Shonengahosha's Young King Ours GH magazine in June 2017.
