posted on by Rafael Antonio Pineda
Indonesian publisher M&C! announced last Thursday that it has licensed Rokurou Ōgaki's Shinobino - Way of The Shadow Warrior (Shinobino), and Ken Ōshiba's In The Summer When You Die (Kimi ga Shinu Natsu ni). The first volumes of both manga will ship on Wednesday.
M&C! describes Shinobino - Way of The Shadow Warrior:
It is the Bakumatsu era, 250 years since the Sengoku period where shinobi spies were at the height of their activity. The shogunate issues an order to the last living shinobi: "Infiltrate the black ship." Though outdated and forsaken by history, one shinobi will undertake a mission that will shape the future of Japan, that will later leave a mark on history. He is the last living shinobi in the Bakumatsu era, the 58-year-old Jinzaburo Sawamura!
Ōgaki launched the manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine in July 2017, and Shogakukan published the manga's fifth compiled book volume on August 17.
Ōgaki launched a manga adaptation of the The Unlimited - Hyōbu Kyōsuke spinoff anime in Shogakukan's Shōnen Sunday Super magazine in 2013, and ended it in 2015 with six volumes. He and Shinichi Inotsume launched Hōrōsha, a manga spinoff of both Takashi Shiina's Zettai Karen Children and The Unlimited - Hyōbu Kyōsuke stories. The manga launched in Shogakukan's Shōnen Sunday S magazine in June 2015.
M&C! describes In The Summer When You Die:
Yamano, a sophomore high school boy, is in love. One day, Tanigawa, the girl he had a crush on, appeared before him. But it seems that this was actually Tanigawa's ghost, and from the future at that. Somehow, Tanigawa was involved in something way above her head, and was killed. Now Yamano must struggle to change his present in order to save the life of Tanigawa in the future.
Ōshiba launched the manga in Kodansha's Magazine Special in September 2015. It transferred to Bessatsu Shōnen Magazine in January 2017 when Magazine Special ceased publication. Ōshiba ended the manga on July 9. Kodansha published the manga's seventh and final volume on August 9.
