Manga creator Atsushi Kaneko revealed on his Twitter account on Tuesday that his Search and Destroy manga is planned for 18 chapters for a total of three compiled book volumes. Kaneko also said he is currently working on the beginning of the third volume, and he revealed an illustration.
Kaneko launched the series, based on Osamu Tezuka's Dororo manga, in Micro Magazine Publishing Company's TezuComi magazine in October. The magazine celebrates the 90th anniversary since the pioneering manga creator Osamu Tezuka's birth in 1928. It will run monthly for 18 issues.
Kaneko launched the Deathco manga in February 2014 and ended it in January 2018.
Digital Manga Publishing released two of six volumes of Kaneko's earlier manga Bambi and her Pink Gun in English in 2005. Kaneko's SOIL inspired a live-action television series in 2010. SOIL and Kaneko's Wet Moon have been nominated for Best Crime Comic at France's Angoulême International Comics Festival.
