This year's 27th issue of Akita Shoten's Weekly Shōnen Champion magazine revealed on Thursday that writer Konoha Sakuya and manga author Kōichirō Hoshino will launch a new manga titled Unsō-ya no Ossan ga Naze ka Fukugyō de Zettai Muteki Kenshi o Tsutomeru Koto ni ~Saenai Jinsei o Okutteta Ore ga Maō Tōbatsu no Kirifuda ni?~ (For Some Reason, a Middle-Aged Man from a Freight Company Ends Up Working as an Invincible Swordsman as a Side Job ~I Was Living a Boring Life, But Now I'm the Trump Card to Defeat the Demon King?~). The new manga will launch in the ninth issue of Weekly Shōnen Champion's digital supplement magazine Champion Buzz on June 6.
The manga centers on Jack, a middle-aged freight company employee, who suddenly becomes the key to defeating the demon king, when he is told that he is blessed with the strength of a legendary swordsman. He then decides to become an invincible swordsman as a side job.
Hoshino's Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine S manga recently ended with its fifth compiled book volume last August. The manga is based on Akatsuki and Kadokawa's Hachigatsu no Cinderella Nine smartphone game, with an all-new story.
Seven Seas published Hoshino's two-volume manga adaptation of Keishi Ayasato's Mythical Beast Investigator. (Genjū Chōsain) novel series.
