GANG KING

Manga will appear monthly in Evening magazine starting in December This year's October issue of Kodansha's Bessatsu Shōnen Champion magazine revealed on Saturday that Daiju Yanauchi's Gang King manga is changing to Kodansha's Evening magazine and is starting its "last spurt." While Kodansha publishes Evening bi-weekly, the manga will appear in the magazine once a month. The manga will debut in Evening in the first 2018 issue, which will ship on December 12. This year's September issue of Bessatsu Shōnen Champion had teased last month that the manga would have an "important announcement" in the October issue. The manga's story follows first-year high school student Katsuya "Jimmy" Ōnishi at Barajūji Academy. As a child, he was saved by a tattoo artist known as the "victorious needle." Entranced by this person, Katsuya is inspired to follow the same path and aims to be the best tattoo artist in the world. Yanauchi launched the manga in Shonengahosha's Young King in 2003.
