Examurai Sengoku G Manga Ends in December
posted on by Lynzee Loveridge
The December issue of Akita Shoten's Monthly Shōnen Champion magazine is announcing on Wednesday that Yoshiji Yamaguchi's Examurai Sengoku Generation manga will end in the next issue on December 6.
Yamaguchi began the manga in Monthly Shōnen Champion in 2011. The manga just resumed after Yamaguchi took a hiatus in August. Yamaguchi had been hospitalized half a year ago and stated he would like to return to drawing Examurai Sengoku Generation after properly watching his health this time.
EXILE band leader Hiroyuki "Hiro" Igarashi produced the original Examurai Sengoku project, which re-imagines the members of the band as samurai with original character designs by manga creator Hiroshi Takahashi (Crows, Worst). The project began as DVD anime shorts that shipped with Exile's albums, and it later inspired a television anime series in 2009. Yamaguchi drew the first Examurai Sengoku manga from 2009 to 2011 in the same Monthly Shōnen Champion magazine.
