This year's 32nd issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine announced on Monday that manga creator Masahiro Hirakata (Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san) will launch a new sports manga series titled Best Blue in the magazine's next issue, which Shueisha will publish on July 13. Hirakata previously published a one-shot manga with the same title in Shueisha's seasonal Jump Next!! magazine in February last year. The manga will have a color opening page, and it will also adorn the issue's cover.
The magazine teases:
Swim through the center of youth!A blue summer comes to Jump!
Aim for the legend! A boy swims alone on a remote island. But he will have a destined meeting in Aono!
Hirakata previously published his Shinmai Fukei Kiruko-san (Rookie Policewoman Kiruko-san) manga series in Weekly Shonen Jump, launching it in November 2012, and ending it in May 2013. Shueisha published the manga's third and final compiled book volume in July 2013.
