Manga adapts Gin Tanio's supernatural novel series
According to Friday's edition of Kadokawa's Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh magazine, Hiroichi will create a manga version of Gin Tanio's Sono Jubutsu, Toriatsukai ni Tsuki (Please Handle the Sacred Artifact Carefully) novel series on Kadokawa's Kadocomi website in June.
Yoshihito Naruse is a typical police officer who becomes unconscious during a mission with his superior officer. Upon waking up, he discovers his superior has been murdered by an unknown force. Due to his survival, he is transferred to the "Special Concerns Bureau," which handles supernatural cases. There he encounters Tenzen Kuo, a psychic.
In August 2024, Tanio started a new book collection featuring the release of its first volume. This book was illustrated by Maiko Aoji. On Friday, the second book from this collection came out.
Hiroichi previously drew the
High School DxD: Asia & Koneko's Secret Contract!? manga spinoff of
Ichiei Ishibumi 's
High School DxD light novel series. The manga debuted in
Kadokawa 's Dragon Age magazine in 2011. Yen Press published the manga's one compiled book volume.
Hiroichi was previously involved in drawing the manga for the
Lapis Re:LiGHTs mixed-media project. This project was published in Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh starting in October 2019 and ended in January 2021.
