posted on by Adriana Hazra
The first volume of Fishgod will launch digitally in January 2026 and in print in May 2026. Manga Mavericks describes its story:
The world is infested by Kaigyo: fish that walk on land, eat concrete, and destroy buildings.Their typical behavior is bizarre enough, but ten years ago, Jaytle Nish witnessed these pests become murderers while under the command of a mystery person clad in black, and eat his parents whole. He takes on a job exterminating the fish while looking for leads, but instead finds a strange woman eating poisonous kaigyo flesh.
From deadly fish to mysterious cultists, the odd duo will take on it all in this pop art-inspired revenge action series!
Chlona commented on the English release:
This manga is an exhilarating buddy action manga featuring an unlikely, mismatched male and female protagonist pair. As a single mother, I wanted to challenge myself by drawing a long-form manga, so I put my soul into this work. Please enjoy this dark pop world caught in a vortex of vengeance and passion!
Chlona launched the manga on LINE Manga in July 2022. No. 9 released the third compiled book volume of the manga digitally on July 11. Chlona also releases the manga in print at the Comitia events and on her website.
