Shonen Jump to Launch 4 Manga, Including Detective Story by Psyren's Iwashiro

This year's 10th issue of Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump magazine is announcing on Monday that the manga will launch four new series over the next four weeks. Toshiaki Iwashiro (Psyren) will start Kagamigami (Mirror God, center left) in the 11th issue on February 9. In the story, the "famous detective(!?)" Mako meets the mysterious boy Kyōsuke.

Yūki Tabata (Hungry Joker) will then start Black Clover (top right) in the 12th issue on February 16. Yū Miki will start Kaizō Ningen Roggy (Cyborg Roggy, center right) in the 13th issue on February 23. Finally, Yūsuke Utsumi (Gado-den) will start Ultra Battle Satellite (bottom right) in the 14th issue on March 2.

Viz Media launched a "Jump Start" initiative in North America last September. Under this initiative, Viz's digital English version of Weekly Shonen Jump will run the first three chapters of "almost every single" new series that debuts in Shueisha's original Weekly Shonen Jump magazine in Japan. Viz also publishes Psyren in North America.
