Shonen Jump+ held “MILLION TAG,” a “battle audition” show that was meant to discover “the next star manga creator”. On August 20, 2021, it has been announced that the “Beat & Motion” manga by Naoki Fujita was declared as the winner. As a prize, the author will get 5 million yen (~US$45,500), an opportunity to serialize his manga on Shonen Jump+, and a compiled book volume of his work. “Beat & Motion” will also get an anime adaptation by Netflix.
Fujita’s editor was none other than Shihei Rin (editor of works such as “Chainsaw Man” and “SPY x FAMILY”). What’s more, the “MILLION TAG” program is available in its entirety on Shueisha’s Weekly Shonen Jump magazine YouTube channel. It follows six teams that compete in four challenges.
