This year's 18th issue of Shueisha's Grand Jump magazine revealed on Wednesday that Norifusa Mita will launch a new manga titled Dr. Eggs in the magazine's next issue on September 1. The manga will center on the story of rookie doctors.
Mita published a one-shot manga with the same title in this year's 11th issue of Grand Jump on May 6. The one-shot focuses on a boy who is constantly top of his class, and goes to medical school on his teacher's recommendation.
Mita's 2003-2007 Kodansha Manga Award-winning Dragon Zakura manga previously inspired a live-action television series in 2005, with a sequel in 2010, and a Korean live-action television series in 2010.
Mita (Investor Z) launched a sequel manga titled Dragon Zakura Two in Kodansha's Morning magazine in January 2018, and ended it on March 18. The manga inspired a live-action series adaptation that premiered in April.
