Two new Shonen Jump manga hint at a cool trend.
Shonen Jump has featured a variety of exciting new manga recently, and two of them hint at an awesome new direction for the magazine. While it is still unclear whether these manga will leave a lasting impact , they still serve as an important barometer for a new direction Shonen Jump is heading in. Surprisingly, this involves putting a clever spin on two of the magazine's most popular genres.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Do Retry and Martial Master Asumi are both series focusing on a real-world fighting sport. The former by Jun Kirarazaka follows a young boxer Aozora in the aftermath of World War II, and the latter by Kawada focuses on a reluctant MMA fighter Asumi in the present day.
Shonen Jump Is Featuring More Fighting Sports Manga Of course, Shonen Jump has recently featured the sports manga Blue Box for these fans to enjoy as well. However, that series is more focused on romance than the actual sports its main characters play. Some of the magazine's manga focused on performance art like Akane-banashi can be thought of as a form of sports series, as the characters compete in a real-life discipline.
Since these manga are both about sports and fighting, they can appeal to both sports manga fans and battle manga fans, making it easy for new readers to get invested. Do Retry even tried to combine grounded real-world boxing techniques with wild Shonen powers to make its action more entertaining for fans of the magazine's fantastical fights. Martial Master Asumi on the other hand shows that more realistic MMA fighting can be compelling even without any additional gimmicks.
Shonen Jump's New Sports Series Are Exciting News For Action Fans Of course, there have been popular real-world fighting manga in the past like the iconic Hajime no Ippo or Ashita no Joe, but neither of these series were serialized in Shonen Jump. The fact that the magazine is now starting to publish multiple new series in this vein is a sign that it might want to replicate those mangas' success in the modern day.
