posted on by Anita Tai
LEED Publishing published on Saturday the first chapter of Masaya Hokazono's new series Ryōjin Nikki (Hunter Diary).
The series follows a girl who has a horrible accident. She is struggling between life and death when she encounters a giant man wearing a pig mask by the sea.
Hokazono ended the Kichikujima manga on February 17.
The series originally launched in Takeshobo's Web Comic Manga platform in 2013. Hokazono later launched a new serialization in LINE Manga in 2019. LINE shipped the 24th compiled book volume of the previous series in December 2022.
The manga also inspired the Kaoru no Taisetsu na Mono comedy spinoff anime in November 2020.
Hokazono and Ryū Horie's Koi Suru Kichikujima spinoff manga ended with the second volume in January 2022. Horie launched the manga in the LINE Manga app in 2020.
Hokazono serialized the Inugami manga in Kodansha's Afternoon magazine from 1996 to 2002 with 14 volumes. Hokazono later drew a new version of the manga with modifications titled Inugami Kai for 10 volumes. Manga Planet is publishing Hokazono's Inugami Kai and Doctor Mordrid manga in English.
