The Dr. STONE manga artist, Boichi, is starting a new manga in Shonen Jump+ this week. It will be released simultaneously in Japan and internationally via Jump+ and the MANGA Plus by SHUEISHA app starting on February 7.
The title of the manga is The Marshal King, and the teaser image suggests a wild west setting with a dual-wielding gun-slinger as the protagonist. Boichi previously teased the new project on his personal X account, saying “Feeling a bit shy, but I’ve started a new project! It’s coming soon! Hope you’ll look forward to it—thanks for your support!”
