In Japan, Shueisha, a major publisher, has published a monthly magazine
Ultra Jump.
In Japan, the major publisher, Shueisha, has decided to make a TV animation of “Monogatari” (original story: Onigunso), which is serialized in the monthly magazine Ultra Jump.
We have received a congratulatory illustration and comment from the original author, Mr. Onigunsou.
This manga is a story about
A vessel that has passed the test of time eventually becomes rusty and takes on a “heart”, becoming a god of mourning. The story is about a young man, Kiheima, who hates the gods because they took away his loved ones, and a girl who cares for the gods as if they were family.
The 13th volume of the book was released on November 19, 2021, and is attracting a lot of attention.
The original author, Mr. Onigunsou, said
I would like to express my gratitude to all the readers who have supported me in making this anime possible. Thank you very much to all the readers who supported us, and to all the people involved in the work! The manga will continue to gain momentum as well, so please continue to support both the anime and manga! I’m looking forward to working with both the anime and manga.
