Get ready, fans! After years off the radar since its conclusion, Shun Matsuena's beloved manga, "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi," is making a shocking comeback! Matsuena-sensei himself announced in late January that a sequel, "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi 2: Master Arc," is officially in the works. Talk about a surprise – who would've thought a series that ended 12 years ago would get a revival?!
The official word is out on Sunday Webry, complete with a preview manga, confirming that "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi 2: Master Arc" is set to kick off its serialization on March 25th.
This long-awaited sequel, "History's Strongest Disciple Kenichi 2: Master Arc" (though the title isn't fully finalized yet!), is actually one of the new series launching to celebrate Sunday Webry's tenth anniversary. For many fans, the original manga's conclusion back in 2014 felt abrupt, almost like it was cut short by Shogakukan. So, the idea of it returning more than a decade later is truly unexpected and exciting!
Get ready for this official description of the sequel:
Fight, fists! Burn, heart of justice!!
Kenichi Shirahama, once just an unassuming high schooler, was dragged into the martial arts dojo "Ryozanpaku" by the super-strong beauty Miu. There, he began a hellish training regimen, mastering various fighting styles!
Having endured countless trials and steadily grown stronger, Kenichi now faces a brand-new enemy... ninjas?! And if that wasn't enough, old allies and even his former arch-rivals, "YOMI," are making a comeback, cranking up the intensity to eleven!!!
To get everyone hyped, the official site has also dropped a preview short manga. This little gem stars the incredibly popular Shigure Kōsaka from the series, showing her on a fish-catching adventure. And yes, it absolutely features Matsuena-sensei's famously detailed depictions of female figures, a treat for fans!
How will the story pick up after all these years? We'll find out soon enough, as the serialization officially begins on Sunday Webry on March 25th. Fans, you absolutely won't want to miss this!
