The October issue of Akita Shoten's Bessatsu Shōnen Champion magazine revealed last Thursday that voice actors Chinatsu Akasaki, Kent Itō, and Reiō Tsuchida will launch a new manga titled Seiyū Tantei Akita Shoko (Voice Actress Detective Shoko Akita) in the magazine's January 2026 issue on December 12. Kaito Takahashi is drawing the manga, while the three voice actors are providing the original story.
The three voice actors are the hosts of publisher Akita Shoten's Shūkan Akita Shoten Radio Henshūbu (Weekly Akita Shoten Radio Editorial Department) radio show. The name of the manga's main character Shoko Akita is a play on "Akita Shoten." The manga's story centers on rookie voice actress Shoko Akita, who works hard every day aiming to become a top voice actress, but also holds a secret.
The Shūkan Akita Shoten Radio Henshūbu radio program debuted in April 2020.
