Go Nagai and Dynamic Pro Draw New Manga for Weekly Manga Goraku's 3000th Issue

Go Nagai and Dynamic Pro are preparing to mark one of the most important milestones in Japanese manga history. The famous artist and his studio are creating a special manga for the 3000th issue of Weekly Manga Goraku. The new work is titled Chikyū Taisen 2053 (Earth War 2053) and will be released on July 3rd.

Go Nagai is a living legend of the manga world. The creator of cult series such as Devilman, Mazinger Z, and Cutie Honey, Nagai has been shaping the industry since the 1960s. Dynamic Pro is the production company he founded. This new manga shows that Nagai is still active and continues to inspire younger generations. The return of the artist, who pioneered mecha and dark fantasy genres, with a futuristic war story has generated great excitement.

Weekly Manga Goraku is a seinen magazine targeting adult male readers, published since 1968. Reaching the 3000th issue is a rare achievement in Japanese publishing history. This special issue will hit shelves in Japan on July 3, 2026. Chikyū Taisen 2053 is planned as a one-shot story set in 2053, focusing on a global conflict. Prepared with the full contribution of the Dynamic Pro team, the manga will combine Nagai's classic style with a modern narrative.

This news is important for manga fans for two reasons: First, a legend like Nagai producing a new work is always a major event. Second, at a time when physical magazines struggle against digitalization, Weekly Manga Goraku reaching its 3000th issue proves that print publishing is still alive. It remains to be seen whether Nagai and Dynamic Pro will turn this manga into a series in the future. For now, it's best to wait for July 3rd and enjoy this short but meaningful story.
