posted on by Anita Tai
The X (formerly Twitter) account for Kodansha's Comic Days platform announced on Thursday that Takashi Sano would launch the new manga series Bakudan (Bomb) with two chapters on Friday.
The story revolves around a clueless-looking middle-aged man who is brought to Tokyo's Nogata police station for a minor assault-and-battery incident. In the middle of his questioning, he nonchalantly predicts, "There will be an explosion in Akihabara at 10 o'clock." After a bomb actually goes off in the shopping district, the man predicts several more explosions, and the police find themselves embroiled in a race against time.
Sano launched the Kimi ga Kemono ni Naru Mae ni (Before You Turn Into a Beast) manga in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine in October 2021. The series ended in March 2023. Kodansha shipped the eighth and final volume in May 2023.
Sano previously drew the Back When You Called Us Devils (Kimi ga Bokura wo Akuma to Yonda Koro) manga. The manga launched in Kodansha's Magazine Pocket app in 2017, and ended with its 14th volume in October 2020. Kodansha USA Publishing is publishes the manga in English.
