Yoshiyuki Nishi's Lycanthrope Bōken Hoken Manga Gets 1st New Volume in 7 Years

Shueisha is listing a fourth compiled book volume for Yoshiyuki Nishi's Lycanthrope Bōken Hoken (Lycanthrope Adventure Insurance) manga that will ship on September 19. This will be the first volume for the manga since the third volume released seven years ago in March 2018.

The manga is set in a fantasy world of swords and magic, and centers on the titular Lycanthrope Adventure Insurance company. The company provides insurance and support to adventurers taking on the risk of going on a journey and finding a path through the darkness.

Nishi launched the manga in Shueisha's Young Jump magazine in October 2016. The series moved from Young Jump to Tonari no Young Jump in September 2017.

Viz Media licensed Nishi's Muhyo & Roji's Bureau of Supernatural Investigation manga in North America, and it released all 18 volumes. The manga inspired a television anime series that premiered in August 2018, and Crunchyroll streamed the series as it aired in Japan. The anime received a second season that premiered in 2020.
