Kagurabachi was already on the “to-read” list of several enthusiasts, and it was ranked in the 7th position of Manga Plus’s hot manga list, overtaking popular series like Spy x Family and Dragon Ball Super.
What does the Mangaka have to say about the success of Kagurabachi?
The Mangaka of Kagurabachi, Hokazono Takeru, is aware of the memes that are being shared, comparing his work with a massive series. He has been interacting with these posts, including comments like “Greatest Manga of all time,” and it can be seen on his X (formerly Twitter) profile.
Albeit, it’s too early to predict the fate of manga since it has only one chapter, but it indeed made a grand opening, and Mangaka Takeru couldn’t have expected a better start than this for his work. Mostly, manga series need to develop a steady fan base; however, with Kagurabachi, that’s not the case since it already has a substantial following.
What happens in the manga, Kagurabachi?
The Mangaka of Kagurabachi hasn’t revealed much about his work. But from the first chapter, it can be concluded that the story revolves around our protagonist, a nameless swordsman who wants vengeance from the Yakuza. Our protagonist is actually the son of a blacksmith, and it is revealed in the story that he believes many of the Yakuza don’t deserve to live or wield their swords.
