Sekirei Manga Creator Launches New Manga in July

Sekirei Manga Creator Launches New Manga in JulySakurako Gokurakuin, the creator of the manga Sekirei, is back with a new manga that’ll grace the pages of Monthy Shonen Gangan.

The manga, titled Senbansha Isekai Tsushobu (A Major Firm’s Trade Department in Another World), hits the pages of the magazine July 12.

Aside from Sekirei, which ran from 2004 to 2015 and inspired multiple anime series, Sakurako Gokurakuin is also known for Rokusho! and Brave Star Romantics.

Here’s how Yen Press describes the first volume of Sekirei:

Minato Sahashi is a rounin, a two-time loser who’s failed his college placement exams. Just as he’s contemplating giving up and heading home, though, a chance encounter changes his life forever! Enter Musubi, a girl who literally falls into Minato’s life! Musubi is a Sekirei, a modified human caught up in a game in which only one of her kind can be left standing. In order to be victorious in this contest, though, she needs to find her Ashikabi (her fated partner)…and guess who fits the bill??

Caught up in battle he barely understands, can Minato survive “The Sekirei Project” and emerge victorious? Either way, with his buxom new cohort by his side, his life will certainly never be the same!
