If ‘Kamen Rider’ and ‘Parasyte’ Did a Fusion Dance, It’d Come Out Looking Like ‘Jagaaan’
When most anime-only fans think of Muneyuki Kaneshiro, the first thing that comes to mind is the psychological warfare in the mangaka’s hyper-competitive soccer series, Blue Lock. What fans might not know is that before he wrote the mega-popular manga series-turned-anime, he penned a supernatural series called Jagaaan back in 2017. After it concluded in 2021 under Shogakukan’s weekly Big Comic Spirits magazine, publisher Kana Manga is finally localizing the series in English.
