Cannon Master: A New Master-Apprentice Action Manga Series Begins in Weekly Shonen Jump
Cannon Master, mangaka Machida Reiya's new master-apprentice action series officially began with the 30th issue of Weekly Shonen Jump published in Japan on June 22, 2024. The series, which appeared in this week's issue with its first chapter, quickly caught the attention of Jump readers.
The series is set in a sand-covered desert world where giant weapons called golems roam uncontrollably. The story depicts the adventures of a master and his apprentice trying to survive in this dangerous environment. Considering that Machida Reiya is known for his previous short works, he is expected to showcase his talents with this full-length series.
This new series brings fresh air to the long-running action tradition of Weekly Shonen Jump. While the magazine hosts major series like One Piece, My Hero Academia, and Jujutsu Kaisen, it introduces several new series to readers each year. Cannon Master's ability to find its place in this competitive environment depends both on the story's unique world and Machida's artwork.
Why is it important? Jump's new series selections often signal the next big hit in the manga world. Cannon Master's golem theme and desert atmosphere stand out as part of the fantasy-action genre that has recently become popular. If the first chapter receives positive feedback from readers, the series is likely to quickly build a fanbase.
In the coming weeks, the first chapter of Cannon Master is expected to be released in English translation on platforms like Jump+. Manga fans in Turkey will also be able to follow the series through official or community translations. We will all see how much Machida Reiya will expand this universe and how much chance Jump's editors will give the series.
