Aka Akasaka, the author of “Oshi no Ko” and Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai: Tensai-tachi no Renai Zunousen (Kaguya-sama: Love is War), is pairing with manga artist 5mm Nishizawa for a new manga. Nishizawa posted an illustration on Thursday commemorating the announcement (pictured).
The manga, titled Renai Daikou (Love Agency), will begin in the combined 22nd and 23rd issue of Weekly Young Jump on April 27. Akasaka is penning the story, with Nishizawa in charge of the artwork. This marks Nishizawa’s first manga serialization.
Akasaka began serializing “Oshi no Ko” with manga artist Mengo Yokoyari (Kuzu no Honkai) in Weekly Young Jump in April 2020. Shueisha published the 11th volume on March 22. A television anime produced by Doga Kobo premiered on Wednesday.
Akasaka ended Kaguya-sama wa Kokurasetai’s seven-year run in Weekly Young Jump last November. Shueisha published the manga in 28 volumes, which have sold a cumulative 22 million copies. A-1 Pictures adapted the manga into three anime seasons between Winter 2019 and Spring 2022. The First Kiss wa Owaranai (The First Kiss That Never Ends) sequel movie opened in Japan on December 17 last year.
