Shueisha's recent activity has fans excited.
Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer are not The New Standard
Demon Slayer has an excellent Season 4, with fans absolutely loving the fight sequences and animation. Jujutsu Kaisen had a great run in late 2023. Currently, these two are enjoying being at the top of the new generation of anime. But they might have to leave the top spot for another fan-favorite manga, which has been making headlines on the internet since mid-2023.
Kagurabachi's rise to fame has been exceptional. According to Manga Plus, the first few chapters of the manga were enough to help it enter the top ten most read manga list. While most thought it was a short-lived success, Kagurabachi proved them wrong and is enjoying a great run. There is also a rumor that it might get an anime adaptation soon.
Kagurabachi follows the story of a young swordsmith, Chihiro Rokuhiro, who is on a quest for revenge to find his father's killer. Takeru Hokazono's magnum opus had everyone on the edge of their seats when it was released. While most manga fall short of expectations, Kagurabachi exceeded everyone's expectations and became an internet sensation. It maintained its popularity through the meme community and acts as a threat to other popular new gen anime.
