Go Nagai's New Manga Series is Devilman Saga

Nagai ended his Devilman G manga with Rui Takatō and the last compiled volume shipped in February. He also ended his Cutey Honey vs Devilman Lady spinoff manga last year and "Team Moon" ended its Devilman VS. Hades (Devilman Tai Yami no Teiō) manga series in Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine in July.

Nagai is currently serializing Shin Mazinger Zero vs Ankōku Daishougun with artists Yoshiaki Tabata and Yuuki Yugo and his own Grendizer Giga series in Akita Shoten's Champion RED magazine. Nagai launched the autobiographical manga Gekiman! ~Mazinger Z no Shō~ (Gekiman!: Mazinger Z Chapter) in Nihonbungeisha's Weekly Manga Goraku in August.
