posted on by Jennifer Sherman
This year's 51st issue of Kodansha's Morning magazine is announcing on Thursday that manga creator Gō Nagai (Mazinger Z, Getter Robo, Cutey Honey) will publish the "Kaiketsu Furo Zukin" (The Amazing Bath Hood) one-shot manga in the next issue on November 27. The one-shot will be the newest installment in the magazine's Premium Yomikiri Gekijō Regalo (Premium One-Shot Theater Regalo) series of one-shots that appears in every issue.
Nagai will also launch the Devilman Saga manga in Shogakukan's Big Comic magazine on December 25. The manga is one of six new series that the magazine is debuting between October and December.
Nagai ended his Devilman G manga with Rui Takatō, and the last compiled volume shipped in February. He also ended his Cutey Honey vs Devilman Lady spinoff manga last year, and "Team Moon" ended its Devilman VS. Hades (Devilman Tai Yami no Teiō) manga series in Kodansha's Monthly Young Magazine in July.
Nagai is currently serializing Shin Mazinger Zero vs Ankoku Daishougun with artists Yoshiaki Tabata and Yuuki Yugo as well as his own Grendizer Giga series in Akita Shoten's Champion RED magazine. Nagai launched the manga Gekiman! ~Mazinger Z no Shō~ (Gekiman!: Mazinger Z Chapter) in Nihonbungeisha's Weekly Manga Goraku in August. The autobiographical series reveals the untold story of the creation of Nagai's Mazinger Z manga.
